The Biden administration has created a new agency to enable the gun-
grabbers.

On Saturday, the Department of Justice announced the launch of the of the
National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center, known as ERPO,
which according to a department press release, “will provide training and
technical assistance to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, attorneys,
judges, clinicians, victim service and social service providers, community
organizations, and behavioral health professionals responsible for
implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who
pose a threat to themselves or others.”

In other words, the federal government is now making more of its taxpayer-
funded resources to support and promote jurisdictions with so-called “red-
flag” laws — which allow law enforcement officials, or in some cases,
family members, social workers, teachers and others to petition judges for
orders to seize guns from those considered a risk to themselves or others.

“Successful and effective ERPO implementation requires a comprehensive and
holistic approach that incorporates a wide range of stakeholders. The
Center is designed to provide resources consistent with that need,” the
DOJ said in its release.

The DOJ noted that 21 states and the District of Columbia have enacted
red-flag laws.

According to the gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety, that list
includes only two red states: Florida and Indiana.

Florida adopted its law after the February 2018 massacre at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, which left 17 students and
faculty dead and 17 others wounded.

“The launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center
will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to
keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to
themselves or others,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a
statement.

“The establishment of the Center is the latest example of the Justice
Department’s work to use every tool provided by the landmark Bipartisan
Safer Communities Act to protect communities from gun violence.”

The press release noted that the DOJ has dangled big bucks in front of
states to encourage such laws,

In 2023, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department gave $238 million to
states, territories, and D.C. “to help jurisdictions implement crisis
intervention strategies, including ERPO programs,” the release said.

The DOJ added than the new center “will support states, local governments,
law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim
service providers, and behavioral health and other social service
providers in their efforts to implement ERPO programs to fit local needs,
share resources and promising practices with the field, and help ensure
that funding received [from the department] is effectively utilized.”

In a statement, Assistant Attorney General Amy Solomon said, “This crisis
cannot be solved at one level of government. We must use all of our
resources and collaborate at the federal, state, and local levels to find
innovative, evidence-based, and holistic solutions to help keep American
communities safe.”

So Biden is carrying out a Trump policy.

And your objection to that is.......?




Trump: Take the guns first, go through due process second
02/28/18

President Trump on Wednesday voiced support for
confiscating guns from certain individuals deemed
to be dangerous, even if it violates due process
rights.

"I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy
man’s case that just took place in Florida ... to
go to court would have taken a long time," Trump
said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety
and gun violence.

"Take the guns first, go through due process second,"
Trump said.
