Reality Check: Kamala Harris is Even More Anti-Gun Than Joe Biden

Kamala Harris has a simple message: We’re not waiting any longer.

If Congress fails to send comprehensive gun safety legislation to Harris’ desk within her first 100 days as president – including universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and the repeal of the NRA’s corporate gun manufacturer and dealer immunity bill – she will take executive action to keep our kids and communities safe.

Here’s what she’ll do:

Mandate near-universal background checks by requiring anyone who sells five or more guns per year to run a background check on all gun sales.

      • An estimated 1 in 5 gun purchases in America occur without a background check. These dangerous sales go through because the federal government does not consider most gun sellers that operate online, at gun shows, or out of their garage as being a “dealer” of firearms.
      • As a result of this loophole, these gun sellers are not required to conduct background checks by federal law, and millions of guns are sold each year with no questions asked in the 30 states without universal background checks. This is how dangerous people buy guns: about  80% of all firearms acquired for criminal purposes are bought through unlicensed sellers.
      • If Congress fails to pass universal background check legislation within her first 100 days, Harris will consider any person or business that sells five or more guns for profit in a calendar year a “dealer” of firearms, and require they conduct background checks on all gun sales.

 

Revoke the licenses of gun manufacturers and dealers that break the law and take the most egregious offenders to court—regardless of whether they’re protected by the Protection of Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).

    The president does not have this authority or power. He/she can not ‘officially’ require any ‘citizen’ not a government employee in the executive branch to do anything unless that ‘something’ is already codified in law. It takes

    The president does not have this authority or power. The president can not, even by ‘executive order’, require a government agency (e.g. ATF) to require or enforce something that is not codified in federal law.

    The president does not have this authority or power. The president can not constitutionally ‘create’ law not even the effect of law (e.g. defacto law).

    The president does not have this authority or power – even though apparently Biden and Harris think they do. If it were this simple then why hasn’t it been done before? I’ll tell you why, its because, say it with me Harris, … The president does not have this authority or power.

    Harris, I suggest you look up the definitions of the words ‘context’ and ‘disingenuous’ and ‘false’ and ‘debunked’

  2. My feeling is that Kamala is exactly like Joe: she doesn’t really stand for anything. She’s for whatever gets her into power.

    Someone posted several Joe Biden signatures. I don’t know how accurate this is, but if it’s true, then Joe Biden didn’t sign that letter yesterday. The ‘B’ and ‘n’ really stand out as big differences.

    Kamala has been complicit in the Joe Biden declining health coverup. She’s on video lying about it. She was also the Border Czar. She’s on video lying about the border situation. Then there’s the fact that Democrats immediately rejected her during her last nominee run. She’s perhaps the least genuine person in politics. That’s really saying a lot. People notice that.

  3. Shorter Harris: I’m the Empress, and if the world isn’t the way I demand, I shall simply make it so. Limited powers are for other people.
