This advisory, crafted by former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, labeled firearm violence as a "public health crisis" in 2024. However, the link to this report has recently been erased from the HHS platform. This move aligns with the Trump administration's broader agenda to protect Second Amendment rights and counter federal gun control measures introduced under President Biden.
According to the Daily Caller, an HHS spokesperson confirmed that the agency and the Surgeon General are adhering to President Trump's executive order titled "Protecting Second Amendment Rights" by eliminating the webpage. This executive order underscores the Second Amendment as a vital safeguard for security and liberty, mandating a thorough examination of all federal actions to identify any potential infringements on citizens' rights to bear arms.

Throughout his presidency, Joe Biden consistently pushed for stricter gun regulations, advocating for bans on "assault weapons and high-capacity magazines" and the repeal of civil liability protections for gun manufacturers. In a 2023 statement, Biden highlighted his efforts, stating, "I signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to keep guns out of dangerous hands, and have taken more executive action than any President in history to keep communities safe." He acknowledged these measures as initial steps towards broader reforms, with the establishment of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, led by former Vice President Kamala Harris, as a significant milestone.

Critics of Biden's gun policies often argue that there is little evidence linking legal gun ownership to increased gun violence. This perspective aligns with the conservative viewpoint that emphasizes individual responsibility and the protection of constitutional rights over expansive government intervention.
The removal of the advisory and related webpage signifies a clear shift in federal policy under the Trump administration, prioritizing the protection of Second Amendment rights while challenging the narrative that gun violence constitutes a public health crisis. This development underscores the ongoing debate between preserving individual liberties and implementing measures aimed at curbing gun violence in the United States.
