Kamala paid a visit to Parkland today and toured Marjory Stoneman Douglas school. According to her, the new DOJ Red Flag Center will be a useful tool that should’ve been in place to stop the Parkland shooting.
During the visit, Harris, who is the leader of the White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention, announced the launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.
“This National Resource Center will be a place where we will provide training for local leaders on how to use red flag laws and keep communities safe. So these are just some of the ways that we can learn from what happened here and of course I will continue to advocate for what we must do in terms of universal background checks and assault weapons ban,” said Harris during her speech in the gymnasium of Stoneman Douglas.
As we all know, prior to the tragedy on February 14, 2018, there were a multitude of warning signs that the shooter was a danger to himself and others. Even law enforcement, as in the Broward County Sheriff’s department helmed by Scott Israel at the time, knew the kid was dangerous. The department received multiple reports and calls about him well prior to 2017.
So, please tell me, how this new “resource center” that the DOJ sneakily introduced in the wee hours of Friday night, would’ve solved the Parkland problem?
