ISRA Statement on the Establishment of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention

September 22, 2023

The Illinois State Rifle Association – one of the oldest and most respected gun organizations in the United States, released the following statement:

“President Biden’s announcement that he is establishing the first of its kind White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention is a declaration of war against the 2nd Amendment and sets in motion – using federal resources, an office that will be used to target law-abiding citizens and to promote unconstitutional assault weapons ban legislation that will convert many legal firearms into illegal firearms – in an effort to criminalize a citizen’s lawful right to bear arms.

While anti-gun activists are celebrating today, the ISRA will not back down and we will continue our fight to protect the right to bear arms for all law-abiding citizens, not just in Illinois, but across the country.”
