As ironic news stories go, this one is hard to beat.<\/p>\n
In September 2023, the Biden Administration rolled out a new government bureaucracy called the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. The office, touted as a solution to the problem of \u201cgun violence,\u201d was actually designed to cater to special-interest gun control supporters and used taxpayer funds to erode the rights protected under the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n
Of course, this farce of a federal office\u2019s name is even based on a core fallacy that when criminals use lawfully produced, legally sold firearms for illegal means, what results is \u201cgun violence,\u201d not criminal violence. That allows Biden and other soft-on-crime Democrats to continue to coddle criminals while blaming the gun and lawful gun owners for the country\u2019s criminal violence problems.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the establishment of the office, Vice President Kamala Harris, who President Biden had charged with running the office, came up with the bureaucracy\u2019s first major push\u2014the Safer States Agenda<\/a>. The Number 1 goal of that agenda was to get states to establish a state office of gun violence prevention.<\/p>\n Fast forward just over a year, and now Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is boasting about his state\u2019s new Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention. The office, like its federal counterpart, will certainly look for more ways to restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners. It will utilize $10 million in federal funding\u2014also known as tax dollars paid by all Americans, including Wisconsin residents\u2014to achieve this.<\/p>\n \u201cI have said from the beginning that I would never accept gun violence as a foregone reality or stop working to change it,\u201d Gov. Evers said in a press release announcing the office<\/a>. \u201cViolence, including gun violence, is a statewide problem, with statewide consequences for people and families across our state. This issue has long deserved a comprehensive, statewide response, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll be taking on with our new Wisconsin Office of Violence Prevention.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the ironic part: As Gov. Evers touts his new state office, which was encouraged by Biden and Harris, the White House Office Of Gun Violence Prevention is likely on its way out. At least one gun-rights organization\u2014the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)\u2014has publicly asked President Trump<\/a> to quickly do away with the office after he is inaugurated.<\/p>\n NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane stated that Trump has the opportunity to \u201cstand strong with law-abiding Second Amendment supporters and eliminate this unprecedented abuse of government authority.\u201d<\/p>\n Ultimately, the federal office that facilitated the creation of the state office achieved nothing except for causing more money to be wasted at the state level. And you and I are paying for it!<\/p>\n I know most gun owners join the NSSF in urging Trump to quickly relegate the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to the dustbin of history, and it\u2019s likely he will do just that once in office. However, the damage will already be done in Wisconsin, where we will all have to watch $10 million of our hard-earned taxes be used to bolster schemes that infringe on the right of Wisconsin citizens to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
