Summary

The Trump administration gutted efforts to prevent gun violence, suppressing reports and eliminating enforcement actions. The administration dismantled multiple gun safety initiatives across federal agencies.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Track FOIA requests and congressional oversight demands for suppressed gun violence reports; document agency enforcement data loss for legal challenge.

Why This Score

Substantive federal rollback of gun-violence enforcement and transparency reflects real rule-of-law and regulatory-capture harm, not media distraction; low hype/strategic diversion scores confirm genuine governance erosion.
