44,374 people were reportedly killed by guns across the country last year.
US vice-president Kamala Harris has also been tasked with handling other politically sensitive issues such as immigration.
“We know true freedom is not possible if people are not safe,” Harris said in a statement announcing the new office. Despite the new push, the White House does not have unilateral power to meaningfully limit gun use in the US, such as by banning assault weapons. The new role adds a significant job to Harris’ portfolio just a little over a year ahead of the 2024 race, in which she and the 80-year-old president are facing re-election.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-governmental organisation, 44,374 people were killed by guns across the US last year.
