The Biden government established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to “reduce gun violence, and to implement and expand upon key executive and legislative action taken to help save lives.”

Although gun violence rates dropped sharply during the Joe Biden administration, it now seems that President Donald Trump is keeping his pledge to the National Rifle Association (NRA) to repeal his predecessor’s gun laws.

This wasn’t the first such incident. A day after Trump took the oath of office as the 47th president, the US Constitution disappeared from the White House’s website, which caused a lot of concern among netizens. However, the Oval Office has promised that it will return it shortly.

With a bold-lettered “America is Back” slogan and a silhouette of Trump, the website also made it apparent that he has made a roaring second political comeback to the White House.

Here’s what you need to know ‘Office of Gun Violence Prevention’ website

The Office of Gun Violence Prevention was mandated to spend £350 million on ways to address communal violence. Additionally, it was fighting illegally manufactured firearms, such as ghost guns, which are the kind of weapon that Luigi Mangione is accused of using to murder UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) reports that between 2017 and 2023, the number of ghost guns found in criminal activity jumped by almost 1,600%, with over 4,000 being tied to other violent crimes and nearly 1,700 being linked to killings.

In addition, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention terminated more than 800 noncompliant gun dealers, prevented more than 500 unlawful gun purchases, and reduced killings by 13.5%.

Last year in November, Trump, who was shot in the ear during his July Pennsylvania rally, made a pledge to a group of NRA members that he would reverse a number of Biden administration policies, such as those that revoke federal licenses for gun dealers who violate the law and restrictions on consolidation devices used in mass shootings.

“Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day,” Trump asserted.
