Trump administration cuts gun‑violence prevention programs, removes injury reports

The Trump administration is scaling back federal efforts to curb gun violence. It is shifting policy toward expanding gun rights. Funding previously allocated to hospitals for gun‑injury prevention has been withdrawn. Community organizations that received federal grants also saw their support disappear. Official reports on firearm‑related injuries are no longer posted on government websites. The removal of these reports limits public access to data on gun‑related harm. Critics argue the changes undermine public‑health approaches to gun safety. The administration has not indicated a timeline for reinstating the programs or data.
