Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris once threatened to use databases of gun owners to send police to their homes to confiscate firearms.
Ms. Harris described her gun control stance in August 2019 at a Democratic presidential primary forum that took place shortly after two deadly mass shootings in California and Texas.
She said she was “prepared to take executive action” to implement comprehensive background checks, crack down on gun dealers and ban the import of so-called assault weapons.
Ms. Harris said she knew how to enforce tough gun laws because as California attorney general she allowed police to “knock on the doors of people” on a state list of prohibited gun owners and people deemed a danger to themselves and others.
“We sent law enforcement out to take those guns because we have to deal with this on all levels.”
The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment about her current stance on the government seizing Americans’ firearms.
Last March, Ms. Harris announced the launch of the first-ever National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center, which will support the implementation of state red flag laws.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders generally establish a civil process for law enforcement, that can begin with family members or others seeking a judicial order that a person is a danger to themselves or others and should temporarily lose the ability to purchase and possess firearms. --->READ MORE HERE
Since President Joe Biden unceremoniously dropped out, or was forced out, of the 2024 presidential race on July 21, Vice President Kamala Harris has been effectively coronated as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Gun owners should understand that Harris poses the gravest threat to their Second Amendment rights. In fact, Harris’s record suggests that she does not believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms at all. Moreover, Harris has repeatedly called for government confiscation of some of America’s most popular firearms.
Harris is an Anti-Second Amendment Extremist
In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case District of Columbia v. Heller. The case concerned a challenge to Washington, D.C.’s total ban on handgun ownership. In overruling the ban, the Court made clear that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes, including self-defense.
The individual right to keep and bear arms protected by the Second Amendment was later affirmed by the Supreme Court in McDonald v. Chicago (2010), which made clear that state and local governments may not infringe upon the right. The Supreme Court again affirmed the individual Second Amendment right in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), which made clear the Right-to-Carry a firearm for self-defense extends outside the home.
If it was up to Harris, Americans would not enjoy an individual right to keep and bear arms.
In 2008, Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco. In this capacity, Harris endorsed an amicus curiae brief of district attorneys in support of the District of Columbia and its handgun ban in the Heller case.
