Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) has taken the concept of "red flag" gun confiscation laws a step further with a proposal to take guns away from white nationalists who might commit a hate crime.
According to a policy proposal on her campaign website Wednesday, Harris said she would work to "combat and disarm violent hate" from white supremacists by pushing for legislation to give courts the ability to issue "Domestic Terrorism Prevention Orders" to take away the guns of "a suspected terrorist or individual who may imminently perpetrate a hate crime."
According to the statement, such orders "will allow certain individuals, including law enforcement officers and family members, to petition a federal court to temporarily restrict a person's access to guns if they exhibit clear evidence of dangerousness."
"We need to take action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and stop violent, hate-fueled attacks before they happen," Harris said in a statement. "By focusing on confronting these domestic terror threats, we can save lives."
Wednesday's proposal doesn't, however, explain how peoples' due process rights would be protected under such a law or what specific safeguards would be put in place to keep people from being stripped of their gun rights and property based on their viewpoints alone.
"What Harris is basically calling for is a way to punish people explicitly for holding unpopular opinions by taking their guns from them," Tom Knighton says of the proposal at Bearing Arms.

“Domestic Terrorism Prevention Orders”..
Do those come with fries? :)
BTW, on a good day she could pass for a Sicilian or Greek.
At MOST, hispanic.
I wouldn’t peg her for black in a million years.
My father was darker and he was from Naples.
Even her own party isn’t is so gun ho on her these days. Her ratings a plummeting down, down, down.
So true! The goal here of the left has nothing to do with safety or preventing a mass shootings. For them, any type of shooting offers a propaganda opportunity, and the more bodies there are, the bigger the opportunity. They have a single goal in mind, and it isn't favorable to people like you and I.
I hope those dopey soccer moms who voted for Obama so nobody could ever call them racist again like that they are now assumed to be nazis because they are white.
She should be asked: “Democrats such as Irish Bob have flat out said America is a racist country. The media and Democrats have made the claim that Trump voters are primarily white supremacists. Is your gun control proposal about keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals, or is it really about disarming your political opponents?”
I think the plan is to give the guns to the black criminals—they could become the enforcers for the Kamala administration.
Kamala is the schizo racist—her black part hates her non-black part.
This reminds of a scene (from some TV show) where the leader of the barbarians appears in the Emperor’s chambers on the very last day of the Roman Empire.
The emperor’s beautiful wife gives her husband a good-bye kiss and then walks into the arms of the leader of the barbarians.
If you are not playing offense you are playing defense.
Soccer moms support the alphas and will ditch the losers in a moments notice.
Please send the memo to our President because I fear he is getting wobbly on this issue. It does not matter how bad harris and the other commies are President Trump will lose if he passes any gun control law.
What America really needs is to be rid of Kamala
She is an American enemy more dangerous than guns
Yep, the Department of Precrime.
My mother shot me once...once.
“Harris said she would work to “combat and disarm violent hate” from white supremacists”
What about the supremacists of color?
What about thousands of neighborhoods that are armed with violent hate. South side of Chicago as an example.
Shes as Black as that high yellow, big nosed kneeler...
Women shouldnt be allowed to vote.
Fickle.
Bastages. Fargin iceholes
LOL, I havent seen that since it first hit HBO. Late 80s I think...
Not a thing in the world, troll-boi.
She would likely scream in outrage over having a law authorizing preemptive detention, finger-printing, and bio-metric scanning of anyone consorting with known gang members. But that would save far more lives.
