Kamala Harris Vows To Impose Sweeping Gun-Control Plan Via Executive Action
• https://www.zerohedge.comMonday night's CNN Town Hall was one of the first opportunities for the top Democratic presidential contenders to come together and share their views on allowing child rapists, terrorists and murderers to vote, and other formerly radical policies that have somehow found their way into the Democratic mainstream.
As each candidate vied to outdo one another, California Sen. Kamala Harris, widely rumored to have the party's implicit backing as the "establishment choice" in a widening field of nearly two dozen candidates, boldly declared that she would take executive action to force federal agencies to write new rules on gun control should Congress "fail to act".
"Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action," Harris said Monday.
An aide to Harris said the senator would direct the ATF "to promulgate a regulation" that makes it so that "if you sell five or more guns for profit a year, you will be considered a 'dealer' and required to perform background checks."
She added that she would push to "ban assault weapons", which, as she is no doubt aware thanks to her time as a prosecutor (though most non-gun-owning Americans probably don't understand the difference) would mean banning most semi-automatic weapons, leaving hunters and hobbyists with revolvers and pump-action rifles and shotguns.
