Activists Urge Biden to Bypass Congress, Create Gun Violence Office

Advocacy groups are urging President Joe Biden to bypass Congress by creating a White House office of gun violence as the confirmation of his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives remains in jeopardy, Politico reported.

Four groups send Biden a letter on Wednesday and complained the president's actions on guns "fall significantly short of the promises you yourself made while running for the presidency," Politico reported Thursday.

The activists said weapons had not been a Biden priority as 28,000 Americans have died from gun violence this year.

"Your administration is hard at work pursuing important priorities from infrastructure reform to reducing the disastrous impacts of climate change," according to the letter obtained by Politico.

"But with rising gun deaths and the heightened threat of armed political extremism, gun violence can no longer be seen as a back burner issue."

With David Chipman's nomination to lead ATF languishing in the Senate, the groups asked Biden to establish a White House office led by a Cabinet-level aide, who would not need Senate confirmation.

Same old anti-gun groups, same old message; take guns away from lawful gun owners and leave the criminals alone.

They probably want to ship all the confiscated guns to the Taliban.
The new “woke” Taliban that is.

Create Gun Violence Office

He already did ... in Afghanistan. Plenty of gun violence there. Almost as bad as Chicago.

Well, those Taliban chaps certainly need a stern talking-to, don’t they? Perhaps even a shaken finger to drive the points home.

These are the Assistant Democrats that enabled the latest assault on the USA

Dan Sullivan (R-AK) Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) Mike Crapo (R-ID) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Richard Burr (R-NC) Deb Fischer (R-NE) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Rob Portman (R-OH) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Jim Risch (R-ID) Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Susan Collins (R-ME) Mitt Romney (R-UT)

They knew when they were voting for the $1.2 trillion they were enabling the bigger, worse one.

A truthful Gun Violence Office would soon be called racist.

… The groups who teamed on the letter to Biden included:
  • Guns Down America, created in 2016.
  • March for Our Lives, formed after the 2018 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting.
  • Newtown Action Alliance, created in the wake of the 2012 school shooting in Connecticut.
  • Survivors Empowered, established after the 2012 Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting. …
More Democratic astroturfing.
