On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke from Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school and announced three quarters of a billion dollars being dedicated to securing more red flag laws.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school is the site of the February 14, 2018, tragedy in which an attacker with a legally purchased firearm shot and killed 17 people.
UPI reported that Harris made two announcements after touring the part of the school in which the attack occurred.
The first announcement was that the Biden Administration is creating a National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center and funding it with $750 million.
The second announcement was directed to state legislatures, urging them to use the federal monies to secure red flag laws. Harris said:P
Red flag laws are simply designed to allow communities a vehicle through which they can share, and have somewhere to share it, information about the concern about the potential danger or the crying out for help of an individual and then let’s give it to them before tragedy occurs. Part of why I am here today is to challenge every state to pass a red flag law.
Harris did not mention that California adopted a red flag law in 2014, according to Giffords. However, FBI data showed that California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021.

Am I reading that correctly?
And our current crop of Republicans in Congress just voted for this? What’s their excuse?
The acronym should be MOREPORK.
There is no excuse?
But hey, I lost all my guns in a boating accident and no I do not consent to be searched. Have a nice day.
Tranny killers hardest hit.
Sounds about right. And Biden just created a new agency with that $1.2TRILLION spending bill and Republicans are silent on this.
No excuse they should ALL be primaried
Did that Johnson guy sign off on this?
After rereading it, it looks like they are spending federal taxpayer dollars to lobby state governments to pass “red flag” laws.
I can’t wait for that Indo/Jamaican skank to be gone. What an ass. Bimbo’s have no business being in that slot.
I figured that out after reading it a second time.
The government needs to pass laws that criminals will obey.
It’s OK, the system this pays for will be at least as accurate as the NICS system is today.
The purpose of NICS was to scan all the ATF Form 4473s to create an illegal gun registry.
They know every firearm you have purchased since NICS went into effect and can bring it up in a few seconds.
“The government needs to pass laws that criminals will obey.”
Mr. Meritless Garland, is that you?
All kinds of things can get lost. Hunter Biden’s uncle lost a diamond that Hunter was given. I have not heard yet what happened to the second diamond.
A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money. But who cares about a $34 trillion debt. Not Kamala. Not Joe. Not DC.
So...are they going to end the restorative justice policies which allowed Cruz to fly under the NICS radar for years?
Thanks “Republican” John Cornyn.
