The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP) bragged without shame of the inroads it has made in just one year into precious rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The report was issued the same day the FBI reported a decrease in gun violence.
Biden’s decades-long war against the private ownership of firearms was capped by his 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It was only passed with the help of RINOs, and Biden took advantage of it. Included in the OGVP report was this:
I’ve spent countless hours meeting with families impacted by gun violence as they mourn their loved ones. They’ve all had the same simple message for their elected officials: “do something.”
Of course, that is the mantra of leftists: “do something,” even if it violates the Constitution.
The report continued:
Vice President [Kamala] Harris and I responded to their call: I signed the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years, and we announced dozens of executive actions to reduce gun violence.
But we knew more was needed. That’s why I established the first-ever White [House] Office of Gun Violence Prevention, overseen by the Vice President.
In just one year, it has accelerated my Administration’s efforts to reduce gun violence and save lives.
Decreased Gun Violence?
Conveniently, the FBI reported the same day that violent crime dropped significantly in 2023. And Kamala Harris claimed that the OGVP, which she allegedly oversees (it’s actually run by a leftist Biden supporter) was at least partly responsible:
In the year since President Biden asked me to oversee this office, our Administration has improved and expanded background checks, announced the single largest investment in youth mental health in history, and been an unprecedented resource to states, cities, and local communities.
We have also supported, convened, and worked alongside gun violence survivors, the families of those who have lost loved ones to shootings, and other impacted individuals to tackle the trauma caused by gun violence.
The 13-page report highlighted some of the unconstitutional inroads the mysterious (funding and accountability are unknown) agency has already made:
- Expanding gun background checks and making clear [that] the “gun show loophole” does not exist;
- Expanding background checks for individuals under age 21;
- Enforcing gun trafficking and straw purchasing laws;
- Keeping guns out of the hands of “abusive” dating partners;
- Bribing states to implement “red flag” laws;
- Stopping the “threat” of ghost guns;
- Declaring that gun violence is a “public health threat”;
- Disrupting firearms trafficking “networks”;
- Bribing states with taxpayer monies to pass laws removing firearms from “domestic abusers”;
- “Helping” states and cities willing to take federal money to establish their own offices of gun violence prevention;
- “Helping” state legislators pass more gun control laws, according to the Democratic Party’s national agenda;
- “Mobilizing” artists and other public “influencers” such as hip-hop and entertainment executives in the anti-gun agenda;
- “Mobilizing” so-called “faith leaders” to support that agenda; and
- “Mobilizing” educators to promote that agenda.
The report also celebrated that the background check system “helped block more than 4,600 gun sales to people convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence.”
Just the Beginning
And this is just the opening salvo from the White House. The same day these two reports were released Biden said he would be issuing additional, “wholly new” executive orders for the OGVP to follow.
Plus, the agency has just four months left to inflict injury onto gun owners. Said Director Stefanie Feldman:
What we’re focused on is what we can do in the next four months. President Biden, Vice President Harris, have the next four months to do all they can to save lives, and that’s exactly what they’ve asked the office to carry out.
There’s a big difference between implementing something and really squeezing out all the possible benefits you can. [Emphasis added.]
Every action taken and “victory” achieved in the name of gun safety is unconstitutional, under Article1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. And Biden, Harris, and Feldman know it.
