An exhibit honoring victims of gun violence is taken down at ATF headquarters

  • The Department of Justice confirmed that an exhibit featuring 120 portraits of gun violence victims was removed from the headquarters of the ATF in Washington, D.C. in 2025.
  • The removal occurred amid internal disagreements within the ATF and reflected the previous administration’s moves to reverse gun policies enacted during the Biden administration, highlighting ongoing political disputes over how to address gun violence.
  • The exhibit honored victims including Robert Godwin Sr., shot in Cleveland in 2017, and featured portraits of school shooting victims and law enforcement officers.
  • Justice Department spokesperson Chad Gilmartin said the removal was not political and that the agency will consider other ways to honor victims while preserving Second Amendment rights.
  • Advocates like Kris Brown and Brenda Haymon Joiner criticized the decision as insensitive and political, highlighting its impact on those affected by gun violence and ongoing national debate.
