In September 2023, former President Joe Biden created the &#8220;White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention&#8221; to promote new gun control measures nationwide. However, shortly after Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the program&#8217;s webpage was removed from the White House site and is now only available in archived versions. Visitors attempting to access it are redirected to the homepage. Stefanie Feldman, who led the initiative, confirmed its closure on social media and noted that it aimed to maximize benefits from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act passed in 2022 following a school shooting. Feldman stated that the initiative was successful in coordinating federal efforts to reduce gun violence. The Brady organization also expressed disappointment over its shutdown, arguing that it prioritized political interests over public safety and called for Trump to reconsider his stance on gun rights amidst rising concerns about community safety. Meanwhile, public sentiment appears increasingly supportive of gun ownership rather than stricter controls as more Americans choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights amid recent societal unrest and crime issues<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2395513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/White-House-3.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[16067,16596,49263,5894,32127],"class_list":["post-2395512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-anti-gun","tag-gun-control","tag-page-goes-dark","tag-politics","tag-white-house"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/White-House-3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2395512"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2395516,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2395512\/revisions\/2395516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2395513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2395512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2395512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2395512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
