Harris Campaign Says She Will Ban “Assault Weapons” as She Claims Gun Ownership in Debate

On September 9, 2024, the Kamala Harris campaign released a sparse set of policies less than two days before the presidential debate. The debate was held on September 10, with former President and leading presidential candidate Donald Trump. According to the British left-wing paper, the Guardian, the posting of policy positions came after criticism about the lack of policy specifics. During the debate, Kamala Harris claimed she was a gun owner and she would never take anyone’s guns. However, in her campaign policy statement, candidate Harris says she will ban “assault weapons.” While “assault weapons” is a political, Orwellian term used by anti-gun proponents, it is generally understood to include most semi-automatic firearms.

Here are the specific policies that impact rights protected by the Second Amendment and attempts of the Democratic party to exert control over the Supreme Court. The policy positions are sparse. Here are the official quotes. From kamalaharris.com:

President Biden and Vice President Harris encouraged bipartisan cooperation to pass the first major gun safety law in nearly 30 years, which included record funding to hire and train over 14,000 mental health professionals for our schools. As head of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, she spearheaded policies to expand background checks and close the gun show loophole.

Both “gun violence” and “gun show loophole” are, again, Orwellian terms meant to deceive and promote a desired outcome. They have little to do with reality. “Gun violence” is defined to include suicides, homicides, and accidents, all of which have different causes and strategies of prevention. The term “gun violence” ties these different situations, some of which are committed with guns, into a whole to shape the narrative that guns are a cause, not a means.

The moron doesn’t even comprehend the significance of the USSC reversal of the Chevron Doctrine

Progressives have always seen the Constitution as an impediment to be overcome.

Somebody get the Jamaican/Indian a copy of the U.S. Bill of Rights. You can’t erase amendments with a simpleton’s signature.

Does Kams smoke weed and THEN shoot her gun?
Kackle kackle.

= = =

A real weed smoker will turn anything into a pot pipe.

So, I suspect she has put some weed into the chamber of her gun, flamed it with a BIC, and sucked on the barrel.

And she is good at sucking, so . . .
