The U.S. Department of Justice has recently announced the launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center, which has been dubbed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) as the National Gun Confiscation Resource Center. The Center, funded with a $2 million award from the DOJ to the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions, is set to become the federal headquarters for national gun confiscations.

Following this development, Wisconsin Gun Owners (WGO) has been actively opposing the enactment of red-flag gun laws in Wisconsin. Despite their efforts, concerns are rising about the potential consequences of such laws, as highlighted by WGO stating, "Once red-flag gun confiscation becomes law in Wisconsin, it will be virtually impossible to repeal it."

In response to the situation, Congressman Mike Bost (R-Illinois) has introduced H.R. 705, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, aimed at safeguarding veterans from what is described as a systematic disarmament scheme. GOA has been acknowledged for its leadership on this issue in Congress.

The article also criticizes the collaboration between political parties, with a statement declaring, "Both parties created the draconian nightmare." It further emphasizes the need to take action against extreme risk restraining orders or red-flag gun confiscations in Wisconsin.

With the establishment of the federally funded National Gun Confiscation Resource Center, concerns are raised about the future of gun rights, with implications for various groups of individuals. The article warns that the resource center could be used to target gun owners, including veterans, retired police officers, activists, and individuals going through various personal situations.

In conclusion, the article urges individuals to sign an online petition opposing extreme risk restraining orders and red-flag gun confiscations in Wisconsin, emphasizing the importance of protecting gun rights in the face of potential challenges.
