Harris referenced Parkland, the site of the February 14 attack that killed 17 innocents, Chicago, the city of relentless violence and death, and Los Angeles, where 14 people were recently killed in an attack at the Borderline Bar & Grill.
Harris did not mention that Parkland was a gun-free zone, that Chicago has long been an experiment in gun control, and that the Borderline Bar & Grill is a state-mandated gun-free business.
She tweeted:
No matter what community you live in, from Parkland to Chicago to South Los Angeles, no one is immune from the gun violence epidemic. There have been too many tragedies. We need Congress to act.

Ironically, Harris did not name a specific law that Congress should pass. But if we use the example of Los Angeles alone, it is hard to name a gun control that does not already exist.
For example, California has universal background checks, firearm registration laws, red flag laws, a requirement that would-be gun buyers first get a certificate of safety from the state, a ten-day waiting period for gun purchases, an “assault weapons” ban, a one-handgun-a-month purchase limit, a “good cause” qualification for concealed carry permit issuance, a ban on campus carry, a ban on carrying guns in places that serve alcohol for consumption, and controls for ammunition purchases.

Oh, they never never admit failure. It is always blamed on others.

Sixty is the new fifty-five, by golly.
However I don't think any democrat gun control bill will make it through one of those hurdles, let alone all of them. So I just dismiss talk such as this as noise....
If Pelosi is speaker you won’t see any gun control bills put to a vote. There are too many if their new reps from purple districts who ran as moderates who claimed to be pro-2A. If it comes to a vote they either have to alienate the moderate voters who they need to get re-elected, or their base. It’s lose-lose, so they won’t want it to come to a vote. And whatever else Pelosi knows how to count votes and doesn’t want to make the same mistake A Obamacare and lose the House again. So she’ll protect them by not bringing any gun control to a vote. If they did pass a bill it would die in the Senate anyway. And if somehow it passed Trump would veto it.
Agree!
I have a better idea. CA should ban guns. And build a wall between us and them so that guns can’t get into CA from the other states.
Twenty thousand gun laws on the books and one more from Kamala will prevent gun crime?
The problem is not gun laws, but humans like Kamala.

California should be purged.
Those counties desiring re admittance can apply and be accepted pending a signing of a loyalty statement
with 1/4 of Central America on our doorstep, with south America to follow?
not exactly the best timing, eh, Kami?
It’s about the ComDem agenda to destroy the US.
absolutely
They are pandering to their base. They will pass every far left bill they can pull out of their collective butts, no matter how ridiculous. They know they won’t get past the senate. This is the Dim equivalent of Republicans voting to repeal Obamacare, knowing it would die in the senate. Chicksh!ts, all.
All true.
When will Kammie and morons like her realize the fact that CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY GUN LAWS?
They don’t care. They want chaos, they want destruction, they want us disarmed before they collapse the system.
They are convinced they must destroy the system before anybody will allow them to replace it with Global Totalitarianism.
Pound sand time.
Yeah. Her "safety" ideas are great. We need more of them, right?
Gun control - assure yourself the weapon is loaded, make sure the safety is off, raise the weapon to where you may aim it, sight through and frame your target, and SQUEEZE the trigger, do not jerk it, and be braced for the recoil.
Repeat as needed until the summbish falls down.
Whot? You said control, and this is definitely a gun we are talking about.
This business of idly spraying bullets in the general direction of the intended target is in no way, shape, form, or manner to be called “gun control”. More like outta control.
