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.”
Her campaign is now over.
Boom....
Rule by decree.
Very Stalinesqe.
Why is that? Can you please explain?
The Democrats no longer hide their fascist agenda, and that’s a good thing.
Kampala is at 4% in the New Hampshire poll I saw today. I don’t think you need to worry about this.
Buy guns. Buy ammo. Buy American made. Buy American gun company stocks. RGR. VSTO. AOBC.
Total gun-grabbing is not a winner.
well good thing this stupid ugly hag wont ever be president. President of Unites States of Stupid, sure but not America..
The “heels-high, knees-wide” Willie’s mattress isn’t even eligible to be POTUS. It’s surprising she’s even got the 4% in NH...LOL
The executive branch cannot create laws.
Her executive order would have zero power over citizens.
She’s Soros’ chosen slut. Watch for dirt to be leaked on anyone in her path.
The Constitution means nothing to the Left. It may as well not exist, not one bit of ink or scrap of paper.
Is there anyone she hasn’t PO’d?
But it's basically true in the long run -- either the RKBA is absolute, a God-given right identified in the Constitution which simply cannot be infringed ... or else it's an itty bitty thing that the government gives us to some degree, if they happen to be feeling kindly.
If you can chip away at it, you've basically destroyed it.
she does remember what courts do to presidential eo’s lately, right?
Are you saying that President Obama did nothing about guns while President, even when he had both the House and Senate? And if so, why will you be successful where he failed?
She cannot modify tge comstitution.
Further she’s ineligible to be the usa’s president.
