In a letter, Congressional lawmakers pressed the administration to reverse its sudden cancellation of more than $150 million for community programs.​

More than three dozen congressional Democrats are calling on President Donald Trump to walk back his administration’s decision to slash funding for gun violence prevention programs.


In a May 2 letter to the White House, the lawmakers urged Trump to reinstate more than $150 million in Justice Department grants that were abruptly canceled last week. The cuts have jeopardized at least 65 community-based programs across 25 states, forcing some organizations to consider laying off employees or closing down entirely.

At the same time last week, the Justice Department terminated an additional 300 grants for crime victim services, addiction recovery programs, and a range of other initiatives. Those grants were worth about $660 million.

What they fail to acknowledge or recognize is the wanton waste, egregious programs, and exorbitant salaries for those cheer-leading it all.
We as a Nation could wipe out our debt in a few years were we to return to the Constitution and it's limitations, instead of all this shit that ..never justified or approved for the US Government to conduct...Just like the word "Democracy" does not exists anywhere in out Founding and operational Documents, Gun Violence Prevention does not appear either.

Community funding moneys, simply go to DEMOCRATIC politicians, to pad their salaries....not to OT for cops, or stops that might infringe on minority "rots".

Enforce the constitution.

I wonder what the dems would say if he proposed for every dollar spent on "gun violence" the NRA would get a matching amount for gun safety training? Heads would explode!
