H.R. 6538: NO

H.R. 6538: NO. This sends $2 million to the DOJ to implement an "Active Shooter Alert" notification that duplicates the existing Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). Warning the public of imminent threats is a useful activity, which is why we have the IPAWS. Setting up a duplicative system only for gunfire unnecessarily complicates and confuses the existing system and risks desensitizing the public with false alarms under the loose definitions in this bill.
