White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton noted the office won’t simply focus on mass shootings but will also work to address the daily gun violence throughout the country that doesn’t necessarily make national headlines.
“In 2023 so far, our country has experienced 500 mass shootings and well over 30,000 deaths due to gun violence. This is totally unacceptable. It’s not who we are and we have to act and we have to act now,” Biden said.
“Working to, not just maximize implementation of all of the executive and legislative actions to date, but innovating new gun policy and making sure that we are doing everything in our power and leaving no stone unturned in the fight for a safer future,” Dalton said.Katie Hathaway with the Duval Chapter of Moms Demand Action is hopeful the office will make a direct impact here in Jacksonville, by aiding the survivors and New Town residents left traumatized after August’s racist mass shooting.
