Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Florida on Saturday where
she will tout a Biden administration effort to provide "training and
technical assistance" to individuals "responsible for implementing
laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a
threat to themselves or others."
The new program drew immediate backlash from some Republicans who
called the effort a "massive Red Flag Operation."
The National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center,
according to a Saturday Department of Justice press release, will
specifically provide assistance to law enforcement officials,
prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service and social
service providers, community organizations and behavioral health
professionals.
"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," DOJ noted.
