There was much in this bill that is commendable, but the Red Flag portion opens up consequences I cannot support. This week\u2019s earlier Supreme Court decision on the Second Amendment indicated the court may find red flag laws unconstitutional and the Ninth Circuit Court\u2019s decision last May found California\u2019s age restrictions on gun purchases unconstitutional.\n\n\"In addition, I do not believe federal tax dollars paid for by Nebraskans should be used in other states, such as California and New York, to fund Red Flag programs that do not have due process protections nor a right to attorney. Finally, The Red Flag portion diverts grant money away from hiring, training, and equipping law enforcement personnel while putting further responsibilities on their shoulders. I do fully support the mental health and school security provisions.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bacon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1010"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.28281582146883, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
