They Are Coming For Your Guns: DOJ Announces Unconstitutional Federal Red Flag Center

Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near… -Amos 6:3

Yep, this will be the unlawful hub that the District of Criminals will use to go after innocent Americans’ guns.  Make no mistake that red flag “laws” were pitched long ago, but it was President Donald Trump who actually funded them and advanced them through the Justice Department into the states.  That has continued under the illegitimate Biden administration.  Now, the DOJ has announced the launching of a National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.

The DOJ’s press release states:

The Justice Department launched the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center (the Center) which  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.

“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,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “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.”

ERPO laws, which are modeled off domestic violence protection orders, create a civil process allowing law enforcement, family members (in most states), and medical professionals or other groups (in some states) to petition a court to temporarily prohibit someone at risk of harming themselves or others from purchasing and possessing firearms for the duration of the order.

In 2023, the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP) awarded $238 million to states, territories, and the District of Columbia under the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP), which was created by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and is designed to help jurisdictions implement crisis intervention strategies, including ERPO programs. In addition, OJP awarded $4 million to support training and technical assistance under Byrne SCIP, including $2 million that was awarded to the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions to establish the ERPO Resource Center. In collaboration with OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the 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 through Byrne SCIP is effectively utilized.

“Supporting our law enforcement and community partners in curbing the scourge of gun violence is more critical than ever,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “In addition to other resources leveraged across the Justice Department, this Center will provide communities with new tools and technical assistance to help them implement effective crisis intervention strategies and reduce gun violence.”

“OJP’s investment in ERPO programs demonstrates the Department’s commitment to addressing the gun violence crisis in the United States,” said OJP Assistant Attorney General Amy L. Solomon. “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.”

Through the Center and its newly launched website, states, local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service providers, and behavioral health and other social service providers will have direct access to critical information that will enhance their ability to reduce firearm homicides and suicides. The website will be maintained and updated to include newly developed resources for the field created through the Center, in partnership with BJA. The website also provides a platform for the Center to highlight emerging and promising practices in successful ERPO implementation and connect states and localities to innovative strategies to reduce gun violence and save lives.

As of this month, 21 states and the District of Columbia have enacted ERPO laws. 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.

It is not the job of the Justice Department to “protect communities from gun violence.”  It is there job to prosecute those who actually commit crimes.  Although, the DOJ is usually involved in committing its own crimes, like erecting their unconstitutional center.

The DOJ posted the following tweet to the press release on their X channel.

Congressman Thomas Massie responded to the post calling it “evil” and a “Federal Red Flag center” that was “not authorized” and it comes just hours after Congress passed and unconstitutional omnibus bill.

Others chimed in pointing out the lawlessness of the center, as well as a few “colorful” responses to the DOJ’s announcement.

This is illegal and unconstitutional.

Will this apply to illegal aliens as well or just Americans?

This is an impeachable offense. And anyone there going along with this needs fired.

Your lies no longer work.

The veil that has hidden your Communism, Marxism and Constitution shredding activities has been lifted.

You work for the American people. Not the other way around.

The time has come for tyranny to be tamed and the US restored to its “shining city”…
