President Joe Biden has tapped Kamala Harris to lead his gun violence prevention office, giving his vice president yet another task for her packed portfolio.
Biden will formally announce his decision in a ceremony in the Rose Garden on Friday afternoon. Harris will oversee the office. Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade, will serve as its director.
Harris, a former prosecutor and state attorney general, has years of experience on the issue.
But the vice president now has some of the nation's highest-profile policy issues on her plate - including voting rights, abortion, and the increase in migration across the United States border.
They're also the most politically-fraught issues, are difficult to solve, and can be a minefield to navigate.
'The new Office of Gun Violence Prevention will play a critical role in implementing President Biden's and my efforts to reduce violence to the fullest extent under the law, while also engaging and encouraging Congressional leaders, state and local leaders, and advocates to come together to build upon the meaningful progress that we have made to save lives,' the vice president said in a statement.
Harris has met with communities that have suffered from gun violence. She has taken on a more combative role within the administration as the White House ramps up for the 2024 election.
In August, she gave a speech on gun violence in Chicago, where she said: 'There are some people who are just trying to sell a false choice ... that you're either in favor of the Second Amendment, or you want to take everyone's guns away.'
Advocacy groups have been pressuring Biden to create such an office to help coordinate efforts across the government to decrease gun violence.

I was wondering what everyone was laughing about
Hooking isn’t quite what it used to be
She’ll blow it...
I.E. Biden’s new Ministry of Civilian Disarmament (MCD):

This is Minority Report without a scintilla of technology to back it up, only pernicious Dems set to remove guns under every possible pretense from their political adversaries, of course, not any shade of federal police, ANTIFA, BLM, or their own bodyguards.
“to be fair, she did solve the boarder challenge.”
The country’s still being boarded, apparently.
To be fair, she couldn’t do any of the other jobs she’s been given so we can expect her to fail at this one. In this one case though, that’s a good thing.
Yes. If you want badly for something to not happen, put Kamala Harris in charge of getting it done.
Of course, in reality, she’s just the giggling, uncritizeable s _ _ t shield while the White House woke activist staff works on the border, artificial intelligence, and now, anti-gun violence policy.
Maybe the appropriate House oversight committees should invite the VP to come to Capital Hill and testify. While it won’t be informative, it should at least be entertaining.
yeah, get the violence the heck out of guns, Kammy. perhaps if she sent all handguns, rifles, etc to re-education camps they’d abandon their brutal ways, eh?
They are setting her up for failure.
She has no leadership skills.
I, now, have mental pictures that I’m not comfortable with.
Ick!😝
Gun grabber. Is she gonna grab Willie’s gun?
If Kammy does for guns what she’s done for the border, I may just get that MP-7 after all. The boat trip industry is gonna take a hit, though...
Can’t wait to hear giggle as she talks about death and murder.
What could go wrong? Seriously! Look how well she's doing with the border. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
Biden gave Harris some of the nation’s highest-profile policy issues to tackle - including voting rights, abortion, the increase in migration at the border.....and the Space Program envisioned by Trump.
Harris needed issues to establish her (cough) “credibility.”
She won’t do anything at all, except photo ops. Her staff will do all the work.
Combine her jobs and have her provide a firearm to every illegal alien crossing.
