But illegals can have weapons.
[FixNews] 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."
To be fair, it’s not as if she has anything better less useless to do. | The new program drew immediate backlash from some Republicans who called the effort a "massive Red Flag Operation."
...not now that she's czarred the border...
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.
They're going to provide assistance to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service and social service providers, community organizations and behavioral health professionals. Law enforcemnt currently "deals with" the problem. Prosecutors (e.g. Alvin Bragg, etc.) undeal with it by not prosecuting or reducing charges. Judges can then take over and reduce (but not increase) the charges. Clinicians can take an obvious nutball, pronounce him not dangerous, and overrule the lot of them and let them out. Victim service and social service providers? Two words: Rita Fisher. Read it and become incensed. Community organizations? They mean community organizers. When VFW, American Legion, or Disbled Vet of America show up on the list let me know. Behavioral health professionals? Thought they were talking about clinicians. Do they make house calls? I mean, do we really, really need more civil servants? More to the point, do we really, really need a towering bureaucracy of appointees to drive them?
Once, long long ago, when dinosaurs ruled the world, I was feeling low and I went to the VA. I got a nice lady psychologist and she sent me to group therapy sessions at the Baltimore VA. Most of my fellow vets in the group were black, since Baldymore is about three quarters black. All of them had drug problems, most had been at least jailed, if not imprisoned. Some were doing okay; age does take the edge off.
The thing is, all of us had had to walk in. The VA does not come out on the street looking for you. There's no Great Case Manager in the Sky to track all the vets in the neighborhood. Maybe you'll be referred from an emergency room, more likely just told to contact them.
So what happened? Not being stoopid in that direction, I saw that the other guys' problems were worse than a few bad dreams and an occasionally testy temper. The nice lady psychologist retired and I was assigned to a Moslem Pak psychologist. Life is tough. Sometimes you just have to move on.
"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.
