Harris Campaign Says She Will Ban “Assault Weapons” as She Claims Gun Ownership in Debate
AmmoLand ^ | September 12, 2024 | Dean Weingarten

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.

What "confiscation teams"? The government need only send you a notice to turn in the guns they want, which are linked to you, or they will turn off your credit cards, turn off your phones and confiscate your house.

With the digital shackles 99% of the people now have, they don't need "confiscation teams".

“there’s a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing. Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place; as opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place, you understand that some people need more, so we all end up in the same place, right?”

“Let me just be very clear about this, I am opposed to any policy that would deny, in our country, any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public healthcare. Period.”

“I’ve always supported Medicare for All”

“We’ve got to increase the corporate tax rate”

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking”

“Under my plan there will also be a carbon fee.”

“When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles, and reduce population”

“And Build Back Better is not going to cost anything, we’re paying for it.”

“When I was Attorney General, I learned that the California Department of Corrections – which was a client of mine, I didn’t get to choose my clients… that they were standing in the way of surgery for prisoners. And there was a specific case. And when I learned about the case, I worked behind the scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got the services she was deserving.”

“I will snatch their patent, so that we [the American government] will take over. And, yes, we can do that! Yes! Yes, we can do that! Yes, we can do that! It’s the question is, do you have the will do it? I have the will do it!”

“I support a mandatory buyback program.”

“I’m open to this conversation about extending the number of people on the United States Supreme Court, about increasing the number of people on the United States Supreme Court.”

“The power I have as a prosecutor is that with the swipe of my pen, I can charge someone with a misdemeanor. The lowest level offense possible. And by virtue of that swipe of my pen, you will have to go to a courthouse and stand in line, you will have to come out of pocket and hire an attorney, you may get arrested for a few hours, you will be embarrassed in your community, you will miss time from coming onto the Google campus, all because with the swipe of my pen I charged you with a crime, which I may choose to dismiss two weeks later. It’s an incredible amount of power.”

“Remember, age is more than a chronological fact. What else do we know about this population 18 through 24? They are stupid. That is why we put them in dormitories and they have a resident assistant! They make really bad decisions.”

it has been said there are three boxes, the soap box, the ballot box and the cartridge box and when government can control all three of these then there’s only one box left...and that’s the one they REALLY want all conservatives in.

Judging what Kam has stated recently, Dems will severely curtail the First Amendment and Second Amendment.

My favorites are watching joyless bayhar say that a 5.56 would blow the dear apart, and waters saying they weigh as much as 6 moving boxes and shoot 50 cal.

As to her gun would like to see evidence. What kind, when purchased

Americans don’t need fleabag ‘REFUGEES’ like the Voodoo Hoodoo trampling on our Bill of Rights. Time to lock her ass up.

Has she admitted to smoking weed? If so, she is guilty of a federal offense in owning a firearm.
