Office of Gun Violence Prevention
MSN reports:
“President Joe Biden is creating a White House office dedicated to gun violence prevention, according to people familiar with the matter, amid calls from activists to do more to address the issue in lieu of congressional action. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are expected to announce the establishment of the new office at a White House ceremony …”
Biden can’t move an agenda through Congress so I’ll take a stab and say the primary focus of this new office will be to funnel money to various leftist urban community groups who will in turn back Democrat politicians at election time. That fits with what Everytown had been lobbying on.

Astroturfing for “red flag”
A handful of crackpot Moms are upset that SCOTUS will be taking up another gun case next year which I suspect the antis will lose.
In addition two local courts have ruled against New York’s so-called “red flag” laws and supporters are seriously worried they’re next on the chopping block.
