If the Republicans don’t get with her gun-control program and they “continue to cower” to the National Rifle Association, Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris says she’ll “take executive action” and do by fiat what Congress won’t do.
How she will deal with the Second Amendment to the Constitution is unknown, but what is known is this: President Harris and her anti-gun Gestapo will take aim at gun rights by greatly restricting gun sales and other drastic measures.
Harris didn’t go as far as fellow contender Eric Swalwell, the left-coast Democrat who would jail Americans who refuse to sell their guns to the government after he bans the guns he doesn’t like.
But the threat to act outside the Constitution might require her to act similarly, and house-to-house raids to seize banned firearms don’t sound too far-fetched.
100 Days or Else
Speaking at her CNN town hall on Monday in Manchester, New Hampshire, one of five the anti-Trump network held back-to-back, Harris promised to wage war on guns the minute she swears an oath to defend the Constitution, which forbids Congress from enacting measures that trespass the Second Amendment.
“Upon being elected,” Harris huffed, “I will give the United States Congress a hundred days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws. If they fail to do it, then I will take executive action.”
On Tuesday, Harris released a plan that accuses the GOP of “cowering” to the NRA.
Falsely claiming that “nearly 40,000 people were killed by guns in America,” which anthropomorphizes firearms to make them, not criminals who use them, the problem, Harris claimed that “gun violence is a national epidemic and a public health emergency.”
Thus, the plan says, “we’re not waiting for a good idea — we have good ideas. We’re not waiting for another tragedy — we have seen the worst human tragedies we can imagine. What’s missing is Republicans in Washington having the courage to stand up to the NRA.”
