You want to know three terrible trends in the gun control space?

Any one of these things would be bad on its own, but combined, they are especially bad.

Welcome back to another T-Rex talk. Today we're going to discuss some things that have been happening in the world of gun control, not since the last time we talked about gun control, but all pretty much in the last week. And I specifically want to highlight three very specific things, which are bad on their own. But when their powers

combine, they become much, much worse. They're far more deadly than just the sum of their

individual parts. Sort of a perfect storm of things. So the first thing I want to talk about

is incredibly dangerous to all rights,

but gun rights in particular, human rights, specifically when you get massive bureaucratic

infrastructure with no oversight. And that seems pretty obvious, but I have a pretty good

example of that. And that is this Saturday,

at a time when nobody was paying attention, the government announced a national extreme risk

protection resource center. Now, if you'll recall, this is a huge mouthful to say, but if you will

recall, the extreme risk protection orders are basically the new,

hard-to-say version of red flag laws. This is a way to disarm people who represent some kind of

extreme risk. And the protection order, which sounds good, is always actually some kind of disarmament

order. So what exactly is the National Extreme Risk Protection Resource Center?

It is a federal institution which has been started by the Department of Justice and its goal is to help states,

local authorities inside of specific states to do red flag stuff.

And to some extent, to get the other states that don't have red flags on board.

So we're going to have to wait and see exactly what this looks like, but in general, it is, you know, obviously not good. I think we should

start with an acronym because I'm not going to keep saying the whole name, but it's, it's,

NERPork. NERPork is the actual acronym for the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource

Center.
