The White House will be encouraging states to consider enacting a law Connecticut pioneered that allows the seizure of guns from people who might hurt themselves or others, administration officials said Monday.

“We believe it’s really important for law enforcement and family members to have the right to petition a court to exercise an ERPO,” a senior Trump administration official said. The official also referenced situations in which someone is going through a difficult period or has demonstrated threatening behavior that is not criminal in nature and wouldn’t elicit police involvement.

The official said the White House plans to offer technical expertise and grant money to incentivize states to take on the legislation but is still looking for an appropriate funding source.

If I am to believe this, and it's consistent with what Trump has said, WH wants to pay states to implement red-flag laws. Why is Trump pushing state-level gun control?

Unclear if subjects of an ERPO will receive notice to appear, due process, and what evidentiary standard is to be applied. When do people get their guns back and how? Also unclear how inevitable abuse of this power will be handled.

If LE is an arm of government, I'm also unclear how LE can have this power absent conviction. Would seem counter intuitive to 2A to give the gov a means to disarm people who have committed no crimes or allow LE to selectively deny rights.
