NSSF Urges Trump to Disband White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention

The NSSF is asking on President-elect Donald Trump to dismantle the White Home Workplace of Gun Violence Prevention, established beneath President Joe Biden. The NSSF argues the workplace, funded by taxpayers, focuses on limiting Second Modification rights relatively than addressing felony misuse of firearms.

The group claims the Biden administration’s workplace, supervised by Vice President Kamala Harris, diverted assets to gun management agendas relatively than public security. It accuses the workplace of using former gun management advocates, together with Stefanie Feldman, director, and Rob Wilcox, former lobbyist for Everytown for Gun Security—a bunch that advocates for banning courses of firearms and imposing restrictions on the firearm trade. Moreover, Greg Jackson, particular assistant to the president and deputy director, beforehand labored for the Tides Basis Group Justice Motion Fund, one other gun management advocacy group.

NSSF Senior Vice President & Normal Counsel Lawrence G. Keane stated President-elect Trump has an opportunity to “stand sturdy with law-abiding Second Modification supporters and wipe away this unprecedented abuse of presidency authority.” In accordance with Keane, the workplace was designed to cater to special-interest gun management supporters and used taxpayer funds to, in his view, erode the rights protected beneath the U.S. Structure.

Feldman, who beforehand acknowledged on social media that President Biden would work to repeal the Safety of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), reportedly goals to dismantle legal responsibility protections for firearm producers. The NSSF has additional criticized the workplace for its alleged involvement in lawsuits geared toward Glock to strain design modifications for handguns, which the workplace reportedly pursued with Everytown and the Metropolis of Chicago.

The NSSF factors to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Home Oversight Committee relating to alleged collusion with gun management teams and the workplace’s reluctance to handle felony gun misuse, noting the workplace has but to adjust to subpoenas from Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).

Trump might take into account repurposing the workplace to assist Second Modification protections, which might be a bitter irony to anti-gunners who believed the creation of the workplace was a doorway for them to overrun America’s constitutional rights.
