On Friday afternoon, during a White House Rose Garden event, President Joe Biden announced the creation of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and directed Vice President Kamala Harris to oversee the newly-created office.

The new federally-funded office was seen as a victory for anti-gun advocates as Biden declared that he would ban assault weapons and high capacity-magazines – and if elected officials in Washington, DC got in his way, he pledged “to elect new Members of Congress that will act. Democrat or Republican.”

Biden displayed a variety of emotions during the press conference – joking about his age and saying that he was 29 years old 827 years ago, and then appearing angry and yelling when talking about gun violence and children.

At one point during his remarks, Biden falsely claimed that he had “been to every mass shooting” in America.

Biden also declared, “if you need 80 shots in a magazine, you shouldn’t own a gun.”

The Sun-Times Washington Bureau Chief Lynn Sweet posted a photo on X that showed Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle at the White House for Friday’s event.

The Illinois State Rifle Association was quick to offer a response – issuing a press release in the middle of the event, and declaring that the creation of this new office was a “declaration of war against the 2nd Amendment.”

The press release read,

“President Biden’s announcement that he is establishing the first of its kind White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention is a declaration of war against the 2nd Amendment and sets in motion – using federal resources, an office that will be used to target law-abiding citizens and to promote unconstitutional assault weapons ban legislation that will convert many legal firearms into illegal firearms – in an effort to criminalize a citizen’s lawful right to bear arms.”

The ISRA then concluded with,

“While anti-gun activists are celebrating today, the ISRA will not back down and we will continue our fight to protect the right to bear arms for all law-abiding citizens, not just in Illinois, but across the country.”
