President Joe Biden will announce the creation of the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention on Friday, fulfilling a key demand of gun safety activists as legislation remains stalled in Congress, according to two people with direct knowledge of the White House’s plans.

Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who previously worked on the Domestic Policy Council, will play a leading role, the people said.

Greg Jackson, executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, and Rob Wilcox, the senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, are expected to hold key roles in the office alongside Feldman, who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House. The creation of the office was first reported by The Washington Post.

Not necessarily, if you buy them slowly and then have a "break in" where they all "get stolen" about every 5 years, then you have a wealth of guns to sell on the black market, and your not stolen ones you buy legally to supply the next "robbery," rinse and repeat.

CNC is probably the easiest but most expensive, there's also the Luty SMG and a myriad of 3d printed lowers that actually work at least for a few thousand rounds which is certainly enough for a school shooting. Luty is probably the hardest, but all the parts are at Home Depot and the books aren't that hard to follow, and Ender 5s are like $300 now and 3d printing is just a hair harder than CNC.

Registration of new sales you mean? Because getting the 600,000,000+ already unregistered ones registered is basically an impossible task, nobody will comply. At that point I'd say that tbh addressing inequality and such would actually be easier.

Well then your CCW class is meaningless and more of them will be just the same, not to offend but your friends sound like they're kinda just dumb.

Where do they shoot if not the range? Do you live out in the sticks where you can just shoot anywhere? All the gun owners I know are members of a range, I live in a city though.
