WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday released the following statement on the Biden-Harris administration’s executive actions to combat the emerging threats of machinegun conversion devices and unserialized, 3D-printed firearms and continue implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

“The Biden-Harris administration and the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention have been laser-focused on implementing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and those efforts have undoubtedly contributed to a reduction in crime and gun violence. Today’s executive actions to crack down on dangerous conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms, as well as the continued investments in community violence intervention programs and red flag laws, will save lives. I’m proud we have President Biden and Vice President Harris in the White House because they are leaving no stone unturned in our fight to end gun violence.”

Prior to the creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Murphy and U.S. Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-Fla.-10) introduced legislation to establish an Office of Gun Violence Prevention in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
