How will OFVP prevent murders such as the following?:
18-year-old charged with fatal shooting of Chinese university student in Chicago.

Notice in the article that the University of Chicago President is promoting the narrative that violence is a public health crisis.
“Following the shooting, university President Paul Alivisatos urged police and city officials to treat the city’s rising violence with the same urgency as a ‘public health crisis.’”
So will the solution be anti gun measures such as perhaps restrictive state laws against perhaps gun manufacturers?
In today’s violence news:
15 males armed with at least 2 guns and a rifle robbed the Louis Vuitton store in Oak Brook.
They were seen in a silver Lincoln MKZ, gray Dodge Charger w/ tinted windows and a red “sports car”
Last seen coming into the city on I-290 from Mannheim Rd.

We need a new office to keep track of all the other new offices that were established to address issues caused by lack of personal accountability.
Typical, sadly typical – another useless task force paid for with our tax dollars.
It is a permanent state Office of Firearm Violence Protection (OFVP) to to distribute $250M in state grants over 3 years.
A Gun Violence Task Force! Just what we needed. Next is the Knife violence task force then the Spork violence task force.
Fixed the headline for you:
Pritzker’s Solution For Crime — Another Crooked, Corrupt, Democrat Political Patronage Dumping Ground Bureaucracy
You’re Welcome!!
Ya Baby a new office! WooooWooo! Green to Gun Violence without even changing direction!
