Vice President Harris slammed Congress on Thursday for lacking “the courage to stand up” to the National Rifle Association (NRA) and pass gun safety laws in the wake of several recent mass shootings.
“I just think it is pitiful that the people in the United States Congress do not have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby, stand up to the NRA, and say, “Look, I support Second Amendment, but we need reasonable gun safety laws,’” Harris said during an appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show.”
The vice president emphasized that the Second Amendment and gun safety laws are not at odds with one another.
“We shouldn’t have to be presented with this false choice, which suggests you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want reasonable gun safety laws,” Harris told Hudson. “That’s a false choice.

Harris - You ever heard of the 2nd Amendment?
It’s pitiful that the VP has a microphone.
Somebody needs to inform this stupid douchebag that it isn’t the NRA that is in the way of their gun grabbing operation, it’s the CONSTITUTION that is in the way.
I JUST learned that the NRA was established to fight the KKK to help the BLACKS!!!
Yes...something they don’t teach in public school
Better the NRA than the hands of Congress
If democrats would quit shooting people, gun deaths in this country would go to almost nothing over night.
The SPLC racists have more say in government than the NRA.
Okay. She’s 10lbs of shit in a five lb bag and Shitlery is 15lbs of shit in a five lb bag.
It’s not the NRA that is standing up the strongest for the Second Amendment Constitutional rights of citizens. It’s the citizens themselves. Sometimes the people use the NRA to give them a louder voice, but they do not always trust the NRA to speak on their behalf. Therefore, the people speak loudly on their own by continually breaking records as to gun and ammo purchases.
The NRA could go away tomorrow and it would have no affect on the people’s support of the Second Amendment. It would have an effect on gun safety programs as the NRA is good at promoting those programs, but as to actual gun ownership and 2nd Amendment support, it would have zero effect.

““The fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch,” Hoffmeister had claimed in a viral gubernatorial debate attack. Oklahoma had 287 murders in 2020: 166 came out of Oklahoma County and Tulsa County, the two counties that supported Hoffmeister.
Oklahoma County and Tulsa are two of the 62 counties that were responsible for 56% of America’s murders in 2020. A groundbreaking study by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, revealed that “1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders” and “2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders.””

I have the above-linked article bookmarked for easy reference. If we removed the large democrat-controlled cities from the crime statistics, America’s gun murder rate would be one of the lowest of all countries.
