Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide, will serve in a leading role.

President Joe Biden will announce the creation of the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention on Friday, fulfilling a key demand of gun safety activists as legislation remains stalled in Congress, according to two people with direct knowledge of the White House’s plans.

Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who previously worked on the Domestic Policy Council, will play a leading role, the people said.

Greg Jackson, executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, and Rob Wilcox, the senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, are expected to hold key roles in the office alongside Feldman, who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House. The creation of the office was first reported by The Washington Post.

    I don’t know SMCF, why specifically ‘gun’? Is the tool more important than the act?

          I asked about gun violence on a thread about Biden creating a federal office of gun violence.

          I’ll assume you are unable to answer the question, Blamemeta.

              Who banned bump stocks?

              Who said “Take the guns first, go through due process second”?

              Who said “I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time”?

                  I’m just pointing out the last president and last political party that made a run for people’s guns.

                    He wasnt exactly a party regular, by any stretch of the imagination. And he got kicked out after only one term.
