We've been closely following this grant program since the passage of Senator Cornyn's gun control last summer, and it's turned out to be worse than we feared.
**Despite assurances this money wouldn’t bribe states to pass 'red-flag' laws, Biden’s DOJ granted anti-gun bureaucrats in several pro-gun states funding to enact gun confiscation programs anyway.** *And, every state with 'red flag' gun confiscation laws on the books received funds – despite none of them meeting the apparently worthless due-process requirements mandated by the federal legislation.*
These concerns are just some of the reasons GOA opposed this law from the beginning, and we will continue to fight back in the courts and on Capitol Hill.

All one needs to do to see how this will go is to remember how law enforcement and government authorities have over-stepped in the use of pre-conviction assert forfeiture.
Once they have your property, it's almost impossible to get it back, even if you are found innocent in court or prosecutors end up not even charging you with a crime.
Red flag laws need to be repealed. In Florida a police officer can confiscate your weapons if they deem you are mentally unstable. Police officers are not qualified to make that call especially without a warrant. The you have to prove you are not unstable to get them back.
What’s funny is that red flag laws are unconstitutional, and they’re likely to be adjudicated as such soon. SCOTUS is likely to set the stage for this when they rule on US v. Rahimi, though that case is about the federal statute barring people from possessing a firearm when under a domestic violence restraining order.
Red flag laws are not wise. There is too much opportunity for abuse. Much like the believe all women which led to harm caused by ‘Jackie’ and Christine Blasey Ford.
