Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) vowed sweeping executive action on gun control if she is elected president, detailing her proposals for gun safety to a CNN town hall audience Monday night.
Asked about her plan for addressing gun violence and school shootings in particular, Harris vowed that if Congress fails to “get their act together” and pass meaningful gun control legislation in the first 100 days of her presidency, she will sign an executive order requiring any retailer selling more than five guns a year to conduct background checks.
Harris has also proposed revoking the licenses of gun manufacturers and dealers who break the law and fining manufacturers up to $500,000 per violation, with the money going toward community-based violence intervention programs, according to CNN. She would also expand federal laws prohibiting firearms sales to domestic abusers to cover dating partners as well as spouses.
Harris has also proposed overturning a Trump administration rule that narrowed the definition of a “fugitive from justice.” Under the administration’s definition, a person can buy a gun unless they can be shown to have fled a state to avoid charges. The California senator's proposal would broaden this to include anyone with an outstanding arrest warrant, according to CNN.
Harris has previously revealed that she herself owns a gun for personal protection, saying earlier this month that Americans “are being offered a false choice which suggests you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away.”
There’s a reason that Obama was the most SCOTUS overturned pResident in recent history.
13 unanimous Supreme Court rulings against him in just his first term
2 years in, Trump = 0
She might find there are other ways to stop an EO...
Well, if she gets the job, she won’t have any higher to climb.
On her back.
Obama tried for 8 years
“Kamala Harris vows executive action on gun control if elected president”
this is excellent news for two reasons:
1. she has NO chance of being elected President: she’s currently at 8.5% nationally in the RCP poll average.
2. extremist positions like these can be used to tar whichever Dem IS nominated, by forcing them to take a position one way or the other on each extremist position, thereby alienating one half or the other half of the Democrat base.
Whore.
“she will sign an executive order requiring any retailer selling more than five guns a year to conduct background checks.”
uh, that’s already a requirement in Federal law, in fact, any retailer that sells ONE or more guns in ANY time-period has to have a Federal firearms license AND run background checks on EVRERY transfer!
Harris is an idiot ...
She is willing to sleep with whoever she has to to make it happen.
No one will mention her status as an anchor baby.
The woman is an idiot. Any retailer who sells a firearm is already required to do a background check and fill out form 4473. She better stay on her back and keep what little success she got.

Stupid twit doesn’t know that FFLs already are required to do background checks.
As Kurt Schlicter calls her, Willie Brown’s side piece.
Yea, sure, ok. But I want to know if she gave Willie a BJ on her knees and if she took it 4 on the floor.
[Any retailer who sells a firearm is already required to do a background check and fill out form 4473]
Ssssshhhhh! Don’t tell the fools at Yahoo. They think you just order them in the mail like from the internets.
(And maybe a few guns and ammo, of course.)
.
If I was POTUS I’d sign an executive order forbidding heels up from owning anything but a rubber knife.
“Her campaign is now over”.
No way. There are many Democrat gun owners who would vote for her. They’re too brain dead to connect the dots.
