(Worthy News) -(Worthy News) – President Biden announced on Tuesday that the Department of Justice will give more than $231 million to states for crisis intervention projects, such as red-flag programs, in an effort to reduce gun violence.
The president marked the five-year anniversary of the 2018 Parkland shooting, in which a gunman killed 17 people at a Florida high school, with the new funding announcement. Biden said in a statement that extreme risk protection orders, or so-called red-flag laws, “could potentially have stopped shooters in Parkland and other tragedies.”
Biden has long championed red-flag laws, which allow a judge to take away a firearm from someone based on the suspicion that the owner could use it to harm themselves or others. [ Source: The Hill (Read More…) ]
