Trump Admin Scrubs Biden-Era ‘Firearm Violence’ Advisory from Government Websites

The Trump administration removed a Biden-era surgeon general’s advisory on the public health effects of gun violence and a similar webpage from the Health and Human Services (HHS) website.

Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a public health advisory on “firearm violence,” declaring it to be a “public health crisis” in 2024, though a link to the report was recently scrubbed from the HHS site. The advisory was part of the Biden administration’s broader efforts to usher in additional gun control measures at the federal level.
