Biden Establishes White House Office for Gun Violence Prevention

President Joe Biden is establishing a new office of gun violence prevention at the White House, overseen by Vice President Kamala Harris, to implement existing laws and work with local authorities to pass gun safety legislation at the state level. The office will focus on enacting universal background checks, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and combating the epidemic of gun violence in the absence of congressional action. Gun safety advocates will join the administration to support these efforts. The move reflects Democrats' push for stricter gun laws, while Republicans, supported by the National Rifle Association, largely oppose such measures.
