President Biden on Friday will announce the creation of a new office for gun violence prevention, an escalation of the administration’s efforts to tackle the issue amid stalled progress in Congress, according to four people briefed on the action who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that were not yet public.
Biden and Vice President Harris are scheduled to announce the new office at an event in the White House Rose Garden on Friday afternoon, the people said.
Greg Jackson, a gun violence survivor who is the 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 have key roles in the office, the people said.
You should use the healthcare system and be familiar with the process, wait times and issues
I can be familiar with guns without owning one. What necessary thing do I need to learn about guns that I can’t just read about before I can have an opinion on gun violence and regulation?
You only learn so much by reading. Its why every education system has theory and practical. You learn handling, culture, nuances you wouldn’t know otherwise. But you also gain credibility. You would also gain power. The power in that if you are a client you gain some attention in the eyes of the companies and groups who sell these products. Like a shareholder, your opinion gains more weight. That weight can be used to tip the culture towards what you believe it should be if you find others with similar weight and views.
You didn’t answer my question.
I did.
You absolutely did not. You did not tell me what specifically you can’t learn from reading about guns.
I did, its up there if you actually read it.
This is what you said:
Nowhere there does it say what I would learn from a gun that I couldn’t find out by reading. No one is denying that a person with a gun is more powerful than a person without a gun. That is also something I can learn by reading.
Yea it does. And I did not say powerful as a result of owning a gun. I said powerful in that your opinion has more weight to being more knowledgeable.
Gotta be honest, and not trying to be rude but you’re showing a good example why just reading is not a great way to learn something. You miss a lot of things.
Ok, im became and actuary and I’m earning 6 figures updating plans pricing working at BlueShield. What now?
Pass your P/1, then FM/2, then pass the ATPA, after pass the SRM, then the FAM, then ASTAM or ALTAM, don’t forget the PA Plus 3 fellowship exams then you can voice your opinion. Or reread what I wrote because it wasn’t saying you need all that to have an opinion
