Here’s the Scoop

In a recent White House speech, President Joe Biden boasted, “we beat the NRA,” and vowed, “we’re going to finish the job.” Biden’s comments came while discussing his administration’s efforts to combat crime and make communities safer.

Biden praised his administration for making “historic investments in proven strategies to interrupt and prevent crime and violence in the first place.” He cited programs that use “trusted messengers,” such as people from the neighborhood and those who have been incarcerated and released.

He claimed that these programs have a “track record of reducing violent crime by 30 to 60 percent where those programs exist.” Biden then turned his attention to gun violence, stating, “My plan goes after the scourge of gun violence in America.”

The President declared that he has taken more executive actions to stop the flow of illegal guns than any other administration in history. He referenced the law he signed in June 2022 that incentivized states to pass red flag laws and increased background checks on people between the ages of 18 and 21 who wanted to purchase a gun. Red flag laws allow judges to seize firearms from a person based on the assumption that the person could use the gun to harm themselves or others.

The NRA criticized the law, stating that it “can be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, and use federal dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state and local politicians.”

In February, Biden announced that the Department of Justice would fund over $231 million to states, part of which would go to support red-flag programs. He concluded his speech by promising to “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines next time around.”

Biden also mentioned the formation of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, overseen by Vice President Harris.
