Democrat Kamala Harris: Time for Congress to Pass More Gun Control
Breitbart ^ | 18 Nov 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 11/19/2018 12:28:00 PM PST by Texas Fossil

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) tweeted Sunday to claim no one is immune from gun violence and it is time for Congress to pass more gun laws.

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.

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) November 19, 2018

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.

I guess she doesn’t know that to become law the bill would need a presidental signature. She is a dumb **** if she thinks that Trump would sign something like this. What a stupid broad.

Time for Harris to take a walk off a 1000’ cliff.

We need more gun control like I need another hole in my head. Yes; that was a sarcastic pun.

Propose dear. Congress proposes legislation. The president approves or refuses legislation if he or she chooses to do so. Only if 2/3 want to over ride a refusal can Congress approve a law.

I wished a law was passed that makes it a federal crime for elected official to advocate gun control or gun control legislation. The punishment being jail, lost of seat, loss of pension, and loss of voting rights.

I’m sure there are 100 reason why my suggestion is wrong but I’ve had it with these people. I am out of tolerance for elected officials that continually legislate my freedom and liberty away because of the actions of others.

What kind of gun control does she propose? What kind works? People have been trying for years to propose gun control laws that in the end have no affect at all on gun crimes. Gun crimes are as stoppable as adultery.
