FIRED! Trump Shutters White House Gun Control Office

Cue the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth!

When we heard the phrase “Promises Made, Promises Kept” from then-candidate Trump, some of us pro-gun folks were just a touch skeptical. But here we are, three days post-inauguration, and Biden’s “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention” is no more. Naturally, that “office” did little more than try to find ways to persecute law-abiding citizens, because those are pretty much the only people that the Biden adminstration ever did persecute. Of course, the anti-gun howler monkeys who still dominate America’s corporate media are hooting up a hurricane.

Here are some things you can count on: The Trump shutdown of the “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention” will be blamed for each and every round fired by a criminal for the next four years. As crime rates drop over the next year–and they will–the media will refuse to release that information. Instead, every single time a person dies from gunfire, we will be treated to video of people in COVID masks shrieking over megaphones that this is all Trump’s fault.

You can also count on the most anti-gun states in the nation to continue passing increasingly ridiculous anti-gun legislation. What I mean by “ridiculous” is that the new legislation will be in direct contradiction to the Bruen decision, and will never be actually enforced against a criminal. That’s because reducing crime isn’t the goal; the goal is to post “I’m resisting Trump and speaking truth to power!” on their social media. So if you live in California or New York, expect a new law saying that your gun must now come equipped with an asbestos spray-coat and its own ATF officer, or some other such silliness.

That said, we’re quite pleased about this news. And so is the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

CCRKBA HAILS TRUMP’S SHUTDOWN OF WHITE HOUSE GUN CONTROL OFFICE

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is congratulating President Donald Trump for quickly following through on a promise to shut down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which was a thinly disguised Biden administration gun control operation.

“This gun control bureaucracy had no place in the White House, and it should never have been created,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Its supporters are having fits on the Internet, which convinces us that President Trump’s swift action was correct. It was already reported that the staff of this operation resigned prior to the transition of power, which suggests they knew what was coming, so they abandoned ship to avoid being fired.”

The office’s web page has gone dark, and in the aftermath, The Trace, a gun control advocacy news publication, appears to acknowledge that it was really a “policy outfit and coordinating hub” for what amounted to Biden administration gun control efforts, and perhaps taking credit for things it could not possibly have accomplished.

“For example,” Gottlieb noted, “the gun  prohibition lobbying group Brady United is claiming in a news release the Office of Gun Violence Prevention ‘helped drive a 13.5 percent reduction in homicides in 2023,’ but the office wasn’t even created until September of that year. Let’s just call that a stretch of credulity. The Brady bunch also says Biden’s anti-gun advocacy operation supported the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives shut down hundreds of so-called ‘rogue’ gun dealers and helped stop hundreds of illegal gun purchases. One would think the Trump administration just murdered Superman with a kryptonite golf club.

“In reality,” he said, “Biden was trying to advance his gun control schemes with what amounted to a shadow government office because Congress rejected his extremist agenda of gun bans, gun registration and other Second Amendment infringements. Fortunately, this gun control office and the Biden administration bureaucrats at the Justice Department and ATF who were cooperating with the plan are now gone.

“We look forward to watching the new administration completely reverse priorities on violent crime,” Gottlieb added. “Instead of ratcheting down on honest gun owners and small retailers, the Trump team appears far more determined to focus on violent criminals, drug dealers and gangs, getting them off the streets and behind bars.”
