White House officials met last week with several gun violence prevention groups as they weigh how to move forward on an issue that has stymied Democrats for years.
The White House says President Biden is “personally committed” to action on an issue he has tackled many times in the past. Less than a month into the new administration, Biden officials are meeting with advocates backing reforms that Democrats have been pushing for in Congress, like strengthening background checks.
However, Americans’ views on guns may be even more divided than the last time Biden confronted the issue. A November Gallup poll found support for stricter gun laws is at its lowest level since 2016.
But anti-gun violence groups still see momentum. Brady, Giffords, Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action met virtually on Wednesday with Susan Rice, the head of the Domestic Policy Council, and Cedric Richmond, a senior adviser to the president.
Officials familiar with the meeting said Rice and Richmond signaled the White House was prepared to use multiple avenues to try to curb gun violence, including executive action, though the administration has yet to roll out any specific proposals.

I would have appreciated it if Biden would have taken action against Iran when Iran was supplying all sorts of weapons to the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, which were then used to kill countless American soldiers. But rather than curb all of that, Biden and Obama appeased Iran with a 1.7 billion dollar cash deal that supplied the Iranian regime with extra cash to furnish the blood-thirsty needs of its Anti American Proxy militias.
Beto O’Rourke was correct. We must strip all guns out if the hands of priviliged white Republican males as soon as possible.
Goat me Biden. The duck season has friends!
By the dawns early light they want our guns!
Beware!

I’m all for action on gun violence but these type of programs usually just end up making it harder to get a gun legally with zero impact on street and other criminal gun violence.
Instead of making stricter background checks how about making stricter penalties for using a gun illegal? How about the police making more effort to round up illegal guns?
