Kamala Harris Announces Three Quarters of a Billion Dollars for More Red Flag Laws
Breitbart ^ | 23 Mar 2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 03/23/2024 7:48:19 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

Yes, all of them. But just watch and expediency will leave too many making excuses to support them anyway.

If it’s from a 2022 safe community law, where did this 3/4th of a $BILLION dollars come from without congress voting on it?

"But hey, I lost all my guns in a boating accident and no I do not consent to be searched. Have a nice day."

Great strategy for a country that still has rule of law.

$750,000,000.00 to buy off the two or three Senators and the dozen or so House members that actually support the Constitution?

That’s a pretty decent ‘retirement package’.

Start removing HER security. They don’t REALLY need guns. Call a mental health worker and start them on hormone blockers.

So angry, bitter women who lost their boyfriends or husbands can down a few drinks at a bar and take out a phone and get even by a phony red flag report. Or why not SWAT them and watch it on the TV over the bar.

So if you value your freedom in the U.S., you shouldn't get married. Otherwise, your ex-wife will sic the cops on you even though you have the right to the second amendment.

The SCOTUS needs to make a ruling and declare red flag laws unconstitutional.

The gun laws on the books now are not stopping these kinds of incidents.

They are not interested in preventing crime. They want to disarm the law-abiding so they can safely oppress us without worrying that we might resist them with extreme prejudice.

The tenacity of our tyrannical communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...

Just as the Russian people in the 1920s & 1930s, and the German people in the 1930s, the American people meekly and silently slip deeper and deeper into abject terror & tyranny without a significant whimper of
