President Joe Biden will announce the creation of the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention on Friday, fulfilling a key demand of gun safety activists as legislation remains stalled in Congress, according to two people with direct knowledge of the White House’s plans.

Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who previously worked on the Domestic Policy Council, will play a leading role, the people said.

Greg Jackson, 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 hold key roles in the office alongside Feldman, who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House. The creation of the office was first reported by The Washington Post.

With that logic, the 1st amendment doesn't apply to the internet, phones, television, photos, or video.

Your understanding of the second amendment (and firearms in general) is flawed, and any attempt to disarm the working class shall be frustrated. It will not happen. A ban on rifles is not reasonable, it is class warfare.

It's also an attack on disabled and women.

It's not flawed. Your understanding is flawed. You live in fear. Don't live in fear.

I don't live in fear. I hope to never have to use my tools, no matter what they are. But just how I need my socket set when my car breaks down, I have my firearms if I need to defend myself or my loved ones.

You must be living in fear of something since you feel the need to be armed all the time. What are you afraid of?

Do I live in fear of sealed boxes if I carry a pocket knife?

I wonder if a pocket knife could kill 60 people and wound more than 400 from a hotel room in Las Vegas...
