Last summer, weak Republicans teamed up with Anti-Gun Democrats to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.  

Part of that law included funding for 'red flag laws’ nationwide. The reason for this is that the Anti-Gun lobby knows that a national red flag law is totally unconstitutional and would immediately be struck down by federal courts. So instead, they chose to bribe states with federal funds into passing their own 'red flag’ laws at the state level, where challenges to the laws could get stuck in court proceedings for years to come.  

According to the letter penned by Senator Roger Marshall of Kentucky and Representative Alex Mooney from West Virginia, the Biden Department of Justice has weaponized Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to Illegally bribe states into passing red flag laws. 

In the letter, the lawmakers state that the Justice Department gave Federal funding to States that did not meet the criteria for due process.  

Interestingly, Minnesota passed a red flag law within 100 days of receiving $3.7 Million from this program.
