🔬Attorney General ordered to review White House Gun Violence Prevention Office

Federal agencies lose authority to study firearm injury patterns, prevention strategies, and safety interventions that could reduce the 40,000 annual gun deaths in America. Communities lack evidence-based solutions to prevent school shootings, domestic violence killings, and accidental deaths while other public health threats receive comprehensive research funding and intervention programs.

American children and teenagers die from firearms more than car accidents, cancer, or drug overdoses, yet federal health agencies cannot investigate prevention methods, safety technologies, or policy interventions. The research ban eliminates scientific approaches to protecting young lives while maintaining funding for studies of other leading causes of pediatric mortality and injury.

Department of Justice attorneys typically defend federal firearms regulations in court challenges, but political appointees can abandon legal defenses that protect background checks, age restrictions, and licensing requirements. Popular safety measures supported by 90% of Americans could disappear through administrative neglect rather than legislative repeal or judicial invalidation.

Scientific investigation of gun violence prevention gets classified as political advocacy rather than objective health research, eliminating the factual foundation needed for informed policy decisions. Doctors, researchers, and communities lose access to data about preventing preventable deaths while ideological positions replace evidence-based approaches to reducing human suffering and mortality.
