Today, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler issued the following statement on President Biden’s establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the first of its kind to reduce gun violence in America:

“The establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention will build on President Biden’s executive actions to end the scourge of gun violence in America, as well as our work together to sign the historic Safer Communities Act into law,” said Ranking Member Nadler. “President Biden has already taken more executive steps to end the gun violence epidemic than any President in history, and with congressional Republicans unwilling to take the legislative action necessary to save lives, this office will be essential to keeping Americans safe. I applaud President Biden and Vice President Harris, who will oversee the office, for answering the call of the millions of Americans pleading for bold action on the gun violence epidemic in America.”
