White House Removes Office of Gun Violence Prevention Website

The Trump administration takes down the site, fulfilling a pledge to reverse Biden-era gun safety measures.

  • The Office of Gun Violence Prevention website, created under the Biden administration, now redirects to a 404 error page.
  • The office was established in 2023 to address gun violence through measures like combating ghost guns, reducing homicides, and funding community violence intervention programs.
  • President Trump had previously promised to roll back Biden's gun safety policies, including red flag laws and regulations on gun dealers.
  • Critics, including gun violence prevention groups, argue that dismantling the office prioritizes gun lobby interests over public safety.
  • A White House spokesperson stated that the website is undergoing updates, but it remains unclear if the office will be reinstated.
