The first federal taxpayer-funded gun control czar's office seems short-lived as its website went dark the day following a change of management at the White House.

As previously reported by Guns.com, the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, reporting to then-Vice President Kamala Harris, was established in September 2023. Staffed with gun control advocates,  the Biden-Harris administration said the first-of-its-kind office, celebrated by anti-gun groups, would "focus on implementing executive and legislative action."

Well, that plan seems to have run out of fuel with the change in administrations this week in Washington. With President Trump's inauguration on Monday and a flurry of executive actions to repeal Biden-era orders and curb the "weaponization of the federal government," it would appear that the OGVP has been relegated to the trash heap of history. 

As of Tuesday, the OGVP's website is gone as are the announcement of its formation and its first annual report delivered last September. 

The OGVP had been under Congressional scrutiny for apparent contact and coordination between the office and prominent national anti-gun groups that are pursuing a series of controversial lawsuits against Glock.
