WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is hosting nearly 100 lawmakers from around the country on Wednesday to work on how their states can try to reduce gun violence.
The gun violence prevention office, the first of its kind, was launched this year by President Joe Biden. It has formulated a set of guidelines to help states take action across six areas, including creating state-run offices like the federal office, strengthening support for survivors and families of victims, and reinforcing responsible gun ownership.
“We’ve been meeting with the state legislators ever since the start of our office, and one thing we hear all the time is they want to do more to reduce gun violence,” said Stefanie Feldman, director of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. “The question is, what should they do and how?”
Lawmakers from 39 states are attending Wednesday’s gathering, including legislators from Nevada, where a gunman last week killed three faculty members and wounded a fourth in a roughly 10-minute rampage at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. That shooter had a list of targets at the university and more than 150 rounds of ammunition, police said.
Vice President Kamala Harris is overseeing the office and will speak to the lawmakers on Wednesday.

Brainstorm??
More like a light drizzle.

Oh they’re happy to be the public faces of the revolution they’re a part of
the absolute void of intelligence in that meeting would be a sight to behold
Oooh, call W and Jeb! They’ll want in on that.
Punishing criminal behavior - woth or without a gun - will obviously not be considered.
Does it matter? They'll all be democrats or other Leftists, Socialists and Communists. But I repeat myself.
Good thing there was no creepy red imagery to go along with attempts at gun-grabbing.....
Memo on agenda we won’t discuss that more people die by knives then guns it spoils up the plans.
Simple, don’t let democrats have guns. They are the ones committing mass shootings.
Lock up criminals who violate existing gun laws.
People like Hunter Biden as an example.
100 US lawmakers = not a brainstorm, more like a weak drizzle.
Bigger and bigger government, and I thought we had a deficit and enormous debt..
This from the same gang that left a bunch of full auto weapons in Afghanistan.
Did they invite the BLM crowd for some rainstorming?
It seems they have a minority who hold a monopoly on gun incidents and homicide.
If you take that crowd out of the stats, things get much more settled.
There is no “gun violence.” There violence perpetrated by people who happen to use guns. Guns are objects and only do what their operator tells them to do.
A fart in a hurricane.
Thanks.
Have heard about that.
Slo Joe reinstated out participation in the WHO, which Trump ended.
So at this point Slo Joe wants to turn everything over the EU and the Globalist Financial Cabal.
Forget that crap.
There is still a Constitution. And in my opinion, it those Traitors in DC try to eliminate the Constitution and the 1st and 2nd Amendments, it will be hot war.
Way more than 1/2 of US would tell them to put it where the sun don’t shine.
That in mind, were you aware of the purchase of Vista Outdoor products to a CZ company?
This has been happening every time a democrat is in office since the murder of JFK and Bobby Kennedy. More laws are passed and the criminals still ignore them. So they try to turn the legal gun owners into criminals to make it look like they are doing something about crime.
HERE is what the democrats said about the 1968 Gun Control act when signed by Lying Lyndon Johnson...
I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!
“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.
And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...
“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.
Then they closed the mental hospitals and released the crazies onto the public and mass murder went up Up UP!
How many Kabutz Israeli were invited?
