The weaponized DOJ’s new venture, the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center (the Center) or NERPORC, 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 to keep guns from people who pose threats.

The new $1.2 trillion bill includes money for government “research” on guns, which the administration has often said is a national health emergency.
“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,” the DOJ wrote.
They never mention gangs or criminals.

Well that’s funny since Joe the Sly-Den himself is a threat.
Lefturds never learn. They ought to read abouty King George’s little raid on Lexington and Concord in their gun control efforts. Guess the Left believes this time it will turn out different.
I think the threat part comes when you try to smash down someone’s door at 5 am. You won’t like the response.
one point two trillion to ‘research’ guns?
well, the pointy part of the bullet should face down to the end of the long narrow tube…
We still have a Dept. of Justice?
And the answer is “no.”
