Kamala Harris Vows to Ban AR-15s and Importing of Certain Firearms

NASHUA, N.H.-(Ammoland.com)-As reported on by AmmoLand, Kamala Harris has vowed to use executive action to expand background checks if elected President over Donald Trump, but the candidate went even further promising to use executive action to ban AR-15s and ban the import of certain semi-automatic guns.

At a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Harris said she plans to take executive action if Congress doesn’t pass gun control and enact an “assault weapons” ban within her first 100 days in office.

“When we look at the issue of assault weapons, let’s be very clear: Assault weapons are designed to kill a lot of people in a very short period time,” Harris told the crowd. “We cannot any longer afford to allow people to make this a partisan issue. Those guns, those assault weapons, do not discriminate and determine, OK, is the person pointing it at a Democrat or a Republican. This can no longer be a partisan issue.”

Erich Pratt, Executive Director for Gun Owners of America, pointed out to AmmoLand that Harris ignores all the defensive uses of AR-15 and AK-47 across the country. He and others view these rifles as a tool that help even the odds against criminal attackers.

“Senator Kamala Harris is not fit to be president if she thinks it’s okay to shred an important pillar in our Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment states that the right to keep and bear arms ‘shall not be infringed.’ But Harris ignores the very clear wording of our Constitution,” Pratt said. “Moreover, the very AR-15 style firearms that she wants to ban have been extremely useful when used by Americans facing multiple attackers. Just last month, a Houston man used his AK-47 to protect his home and his life against five home invaders. If Harris were to get her way, that law-abiding gun owner would have been severely handicapped in his ability to defend himself.”

Harris would also use executive action to stop the import of rifles such as AK and AR variants. The prohibition on importing the guns would continue until the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can determine if the ban should be made permanent.

Harris highlighted that the terrorist that attacked party goers at the Pulse night club in Florida used a gun manufactured by Sig Sauer. She also said the Las Vegas attacker used foreign-made rifles. Harris thinks these attacks justify putting multiple companies that import these rifles out of business.

The California Democrat blamed mass shooting on the 20 million semi-automatic rifles in circulation. She supported Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s bill that would make it illegal to import, sell, or transfer most semi-automatic rifles. Feinstein introduced her “assault weapons” ban in January. The bill has stalled in committee.

The Firearm Industry Trade Association points out the fact that “AR-15-style rifles can look like military rifles, such as the M-16, but by law, they function like other semi-automatic civilian sporting firearms, as they fire only one round with each pull of the trigger.”

The NRA has accused Harris of running on failed policies. Harris, who claims to be a gun owner, has vowed to take on the NRA. Harris, like many other Democrats, has used the NRA as a target of their rage and to stir up their base.

Harris calls for gun control seems to be in response to Cory Booker’s calls for a mandated federal firearms license for anyone who owns a gun. Booker’s plan has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum including from fellow Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke.

Willes K. Lee, President of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA), thinks the crowded field of 22 Democrats appears to be on a race to see who can pledge to pass the most repressive gun laws possible.

“The most fun this summer will be watching the laggers, in the socialist race for their nomination, trying to out-antigun their also-lagging peers to get on stage for the Dem debates,” Lee said. “This is ridiculous, unconstitutional, and dangerous proposal to spout from her mouth.”

Harris has stated these proposals are just the tip of the iceberg for her gun control platform. In the coming weeks, she will release more information about her plans on Firearms.

Hopefully a close advisor or someone will remind her what will happen should she become POTUS and continue to spew the words ban this gun and ban that gun? She’ll be known the world over as a best gun saleswoman within those first 100 days as POTUS. She’ll start another epic run on any and all types of guns, ammo and gun related components. IMOA these numbers are probably higher (550 – 600 million guns) than they think and it’s estimated there were 357 million firearms in the U.S. as of 2013. Obama helped drive up those numbers too.

Why would anyone listen to that old hen from Kailfornication about ANYTHING to do with firearms? She obviously knows NOTHING about them, since she has no idea about gun safety basics. She can’t seem to keep her booger hook off the bang switch, especially on an AK variant with a magazine attached and the bolt closed.
I wouldn’t want to be within 2000 meters of that idiot.

Clamidia Harris is obviously been smoking to much dope. When she opens her big mouth I can only wonder if she’s going to smoke a blunt with her hoodlum friends, sick a dick, or spew more of her unintelligible verbiage she’s so used too saying. This woman has made it to the positions she’s in by lying on her back or on her knees. She’s a hypocrite and liar. She was supposed to be a person of laws as a prosecutor, CA attorney general, and now a senator. Her agenda is to destroy our country like all liberals. Liberals want… Read more »

The sad thing that she, and even many NRA members don’t understand is that these sorts of ‘arms’ are precisely what the 2nd Amendment protects! It has nothing to do with sporting equipment except in as much as they may also be used as weapons. You may recall that the people who wrote the Bill of Rights had a spot of bother with out-of-control government and they were intelligent enough to realize that it could happen again, especially if we got lazy and complacent and ignorant. The 2nd Amendment isn’t just recognition of our right to be armed but also… Read more »

R L, you couldn’t be more wrong. Most NRA members and others that believe in our inalienable rights do understand, that is why we are fighting against these things. If we weren’t “winning”, we would not have Constitutional Carry in over 16 states now, and “Shall Issue” in half the 50 states. There are only 8 states remaining that are anti-rights and Harris’ state is one of them. Each year our rights are becoming more liberal, we are getting our rights back, but it is a constant fight, and sometimes there are set-backs. We shall prevail or the nation will… Read more »

The most glaring reasons she doesn’t have what is needed to be president is: experience, knowledge and patriotism. besides being a foreigner and just a plain stupid moron that has slept her way to where she is today. On top of that she wants to legalize prostitution and drugs, of course just to ease the pain of taking all our guns. She needs to stay heals up and go about her trip but leave us alone.

“Harris highlighted that the terrorist that attacked party goers are the Pulse night club in Florida used a gun manufactured by Sig Sauer. She also said the Las Vegas attacker used foreign-made rifles.“

She wants to ban imports? SIG MCXs and FNH AR style rifles are made in the US. ‘Heels up Harris’ is lying…..again.

Kamala Harris is a domestic theat along with her following.

I love these candidates who think running on a gun control platform is their path to the White House. You just can’t fix stupid.

@Gentlemen. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t Kamala translate as “a bad ka”? Like guatemala ” a bad guate”. I’m not sure, but it seems to fit, whatever a ka might be. It is still ok to make jokes about politicians, right?

Wild Bill, whadaya think about Kam^ala as a host on SNL? She can team up with Alec Baldwin!

@No Filter, I think that she has a date with Creepy Joe and his casting couch to get the VP position. It will bring new meaning to the phrase “Running Mate”!

Hah! Wild Bill;
I believe you’re on to something, but I think ‘ka’ may refer to one of those unstated grammatical contraction for ‘kaka’ (i.e., ‘caca’). Whadaya think? kakamala; the feminine form for ‘bad turd’?
Sounds ‘right’ to me.

These stupid communist bitches and bastards spew their crap about gun control being for the purpose of making us safer… BULL-SHIT. Millions will die when the commie/Nazis try to take our guns and we fight back. Then, if the commie/Nazis do get the upper hand and strip us of our Constitutional rights, millions more will die under a repressive communist regime. Disease, starvation, poor living conditions and outright murder by these commie/Nazis will be rampant. These power mad, morally vacant morons will destroy America and her people. We must fight, with everything we have.

No secret she want a full ban on all firearms just like her BFF Diane.

Laws are nothing more than the opinion of a politician backed by the force of arms.

Laws like the 1968 GCA and the Illinois FOID card law are examples of such law. We were fine before those laws and we will be fine after those laws are gone. We could have a positive effect on crime if we controlled our borders.

This woman has gotten to were she is today by spreading her legs for anyone able to advance her career.

They can ban guns all they want but we live in an age of 3D printing, home machine shops, and a thriving black market.
We will never be without guns. Arguing about the 2nd Amendment is a lead-up to what we really should be arguing about: How much more lawlessness are we going to tolerate?

SHE IS A DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADER (socialist/communist) why would she NOT ban these and other firearms?

LibertyToad

By definition, an executive order cannot trump an Amendment–not that that would stop them.,,,

Folks, this is only the tip of the iceberg. These lib-tards want total domination. It’s necessary for them to target the 2nd Amendment because they’re going after the 1st Amendment, the electoral college, term limits and anything else that stands in their way. In the meantime, they’ll give any hedonistic perks to those that blindly follow their drivel.
My dismay comes from the cowardly so-called conservatives that end up supporting this crap in bi-partisan initiatives. They are the real enemy because they are inside our wire.

Wild Bill

@Spurs, Just let the far left keep screaming their vulgar verbiage, and engaging in frenzied behavior. As for us, let us find and support the “not corrupted yet” candidate. It will take some quiet coordination, and effort, but I am confident that we can drain the legislative swamp.

Kamala Harris is not going to do anything but run her damn mouth, like Cory Booker and all the rest. She has no chance of becoming president and never will!

Wild Bill

@American, The left has twenty-three in the race. Most know that they have no chance of winning. They can not, however, milk their supporters for campaign contributors for donations if they are not in a political contest.

Careful what you say, Trump couldent win either. But he did, thank goodness.

Green Mtn. Boy

Perhaps Harris wants to become known for something other than being the depository for Willie Brown’s willie.

Like Spartacus and Pocahontas, Harris will say anything to get attention and Ammoland provides the forum.

Harris on her feet will fail, just like she did on her back, after Willie Brown dumped her.

In the face of such outrageous falsehoods and lies, we need to fight back with a campaign of facts, statistics, and graphic, cold truth. We need to discredit these propagandists, make them look like the wild-eyed zealots and fools they really are. Take the gloves off, because this is going to be a street fight. Some of you know what I mean. They’re the side that brings those tactics, so it’s about our self-defense and preservation, to me. That is key.

Here is the most fundamental question on the issue: do you trust a government that does not trust you? Those who advocate for outright bans on material objects have a nefarious intent. They are trying to take power from you. In America, the ultimate power rests in the People. Socialists, communists, progressives and yes, Virginia, National Socialists all understand this. They know they must disarm a free people in order to make them a subject people.

Ultimately, the Second Amendment is all about getting rid of shithead tyrants like Chlamydia Harris. The People have more weapons than her side does – so do the math you nasty mulatto slut and see how your proposed ‘ban’ will turn out.

“The Firearm Industry Trade Association points out the fact that “AR-15-style rifles can look like military rifles, such as the M-16, but by law, they function like other semi-automatic civilian sporting firearms, as they fire only one round with each pull of the trigger.”
Of course, so does a bump stock equipped rifle but that didn’t stop the President now did it?

Clark Kent

So you would have had HiLIARy as POTUS? Yes or no?

andie

Hitlary was a known enemy of our rights. It was something of a surprise when it came from someone we thought was on the right side. So recognizing Trumps mistake, stab in our back, being dupped, whatever you want to call it, does not mean anyone here thinks Hitlary would have made a better president.

Ranger1

Do these crazy women really believe that 20 million Americans will turn in their ARs and AKs? There will be a shooting revolution before patriotic Americans turn in their guns to the socialist degenerates. It appears that my wife has been correct all these years. liberalism is a mental illness that cannot be treated or cured. Now, more than ever, it is not a question of IF, but WHEN loyal/patriotic Americans take back the reins of government from the liberal trash.

Reason

Wow she wants to start civil war number 2 in her first 100 days if elected. Another good reson to not even let her anywhere nesr the office of the presidency.

Andie

More accurately, liberalism is a disease of the intellect, an intellectual disorder making rational thought difficult, rare or impossible. A common theme here seems to be a willingness to break out into a shooting war to restore our trampled rights. That is admirable, should it really come to that. But don’t vacate the battle field of the soft war, culture war being waged right now under our very noses. That is the first means the founding fathers gave us to ensure our rights don’t degrade. The 2nd Amendment was always meant to be the ultimate (i.e. last resort) freedom guarantee… Read more »

The intent of the 2nd amendment was to protect the People’s branch of government that the Founders recognized as our ultimate authority “to execute the Laws of the Union…” The Duty of the States to maintain “A well regulated Militia”… Read more »

Nick, It can be because English is a malleable language. Based upon your one sentence paragraphs; abysmal punctuation; and decibel level of the laughter that you generate, you are no master of the written word.
For your pedagogic benefit, I suggest the following three books:

2. The Goof-Proofer; and finally,
3. How to Write a Damn Good Novel.

To everyone else, please accept my apologies.

Nick with all do respect, I think we all know about the roll and importance of the militia.

There is no constitutional militia. Just a bunch of guys who know nothing about the subject causing problems.

We are the ultimate arbiters of the law, and so the Framers recognized and institutionalized the Grand Jury, the Petit Jury, and the Militia as the People’s authority.
One more thing, Article IV, Section 4 has never been amended. You would think that so-called scholars would recognize this and stop using the term democracy.
