A press launch from so-called Everytown for Gun Security purports to clarify what “Freedom from Gun Violence” would appear to be beneath a Kamala Harris presidency. What it actually does, nonetheless, is listing quite a few the explanation why no gun proprietor ought to even contemplate voting for the present vice chairman on Election Day.
“Within the lead as much as the Democratic Nationwide Conference, Everytown for Gun Security, together with its grassroots arms Mothers Demand Motion and College students Demand Motion, will work to make sure voters get the information about Vice President Harris’ robust document of preserving communities secure from gun violence—and what her presidency would imply for the way forward for gun security,” the press launch acknowledged.
That’s when it will get bizarre. In some way, the group that’s devoted to taking away rights and freedoms for America’s gun house owners thinks a Trump presidency would infringe upon its freedom.
“At a time when extremists are attacking our rights, it’s extra essential than ever to elect a president who won’t solely combat to guard our freedoms but additionally broaden them. That particular person is Kamala Harris,” mentioned Angela Ferrell-Zabala, government director of Mothers Demand Motion.
Satirically, the press launch then goes on to clarify, in nice element, a lot of methods Harris has tried to—and nonetheless intends to—infringe upon the precise Constitutional rights of lawful American gun house owners.
“All through her profession, Harris has been a vocal advocate for reinstating a ban on assault weapons, the weapon of selection for mass shooters and extremists,” the discharge acknowledged. “Within the Senate, Harris cosponsored the Disarm Hate Act to ban people convicted of all violent hate crimes from buying and possessing firearms. Harris has additionally cosponsored Senate laws to control harmful firearms and equipment, together with ghost weapons, large-capacity magazines, 3D-printed weapons, bump shares and different units designed or operate to speed up the speed of fireplace of semi-automatic weapons. The Biden-Harris Administration applied life-saving guidelines to control ghost weapons and arm-brace-equipped assault weapons.”
In fact, the discharge additionally included a variety of different “accomplishments” for Harris throughout her time in public workplace. It highlighted her championing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which she and President Joe Biden have used to additional infringe upon the fitting to maintain and bear arms.
The discharge additionally bragged that Harris was tabbed by President Biden to move the White Home Workplace of Violence Prevention. In that effort, nonetheless, Harris has achieved completely nothing, and if she loses the November election that workplace will virtually definitely be relegated to the dustbin of historical past.
The discharge additionally highlighted how Harris needs to bankrupt firearms producers together with her efforts to repeal the Safety of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), needs to ban personal gun gross sales by instituting so-called “common” background checks and desires to see microstamping mandates for gun producers. All, after all, are fully reprehensible.
Ultimately, the explanations Everytown believes People ought to elect Harris are the precise causes that People shouldn’t even contemplate voting for her. We recognize Everytown’s efforts in declaring simply how dangerous of president she’d be for lawful American gun house owners.
