Biden to create new office of gun violence prevention
washingtonpost.com
President Biden on Friday will announce the creation of a new office for gun violence prevention, an escalation of the administration’s efforts to tackle the issue amid stalled progress in Congress, according to four people briefed on the action who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that were not yet public.
Biden and Vice President Harris are scheduled to announce the new office at an event in the White House Rose Garden on Friday afternoon, the people said.
Greg Jackson, a gun violence survivor who is the executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, and Rob Wilcox, the senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, are expected to have key roles in the office, the people said.

Yea I'm pretty sure most people have a decent knowledge of what a gun is and what it does. The problem is the level of knowledge is never enough for the vocal group of gun enthusiasts that treat the firearm as their new deity. I don't need to learn field strip every model of Eastern European rifle to say hey maybe we should do something about letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry have access to a death tube the same day they ask for one after they rant about minorities.
My apologies to Tom and Harry, Dick you are on your own though.
I agree with general restrictions it's enough, but frequently when people are trying to restrict pieces of hardware things can get pretty dumb. You need knowledge to do that.
That's fair, at that point though you can bring in specialists though to assist and inform.
