WASHINGTON -- The White House on Wednesday hosted nearly 100 lawmakers from around the country to discuss how their states can try to better reduce gun violence. "You’re not in it alone,” Vice President Kamala Harris told them.
The event was run by the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, a new undertaking from President Joe Biden in September that has developed guidelines to help states take action.
“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?”
The gathering attracted lawmakers from 39 states, including 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 school and more than 150 rounds of ammunition, police said.

Gun violence prevention ideas = arrest criminals, charge criminals, prosecute criminals, hold gun crime criminals in jail awaiting trial, try criminals, sentence criminals to prison
Anything else is a scheme to subvert the 2nd Amendment.

This Wackadoodle has had her hand in a bunch of weird positions for Biden over the years... Things the government really only screws up when it touches it.
I am sure this conference has zero incentive to stop gun violence, but to grab guns from law abiding citizens.

I am sure that one of the reasons they want to disarm law abiding citizens is to prevent gun violence by them on violent criminal thugs trying to kill them. Gotta protect their voters.

Here's a novel idea. Why not enforce laws already on the books against people who commit crimes with guns?
