U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- On Wednesday, March 24, Vice President Kamala Harris sat for a segment with “CBS This Morning” in which she advocated for a raft of gun control measures. During her anti-gun rant, the former senator from California tried to give the impression that anti-gun politicians are not interested in taking Americans’ firearms, stating, “Stop pushing the false choice that this means everybody’s trying to come after your guns. That is not what we’re talking about.” The statement was a flagrant falsehood, uttered by a person who spent much of the 2020 Democratic primary campaign advocating for the confiscation of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms among a field of other candidates advocating for the confiscation of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms.
On September 6, 2019, Harris told reporters in Londonderry, N.H. that she supported a forced “buyback” of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms – whereby current owners would be required to hand over their lawfully-possessed guns for set compensation. Billionaire gun control financier Michael Bloomberg’s eponymous news outlet cheerfully reported that Harris stated, “I think it’s a good idea,” adding, “We have to work out the details — there are a lot of details — but I do…We have to take those guns off the streets.”
On the September 16, 2019, edition of the “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Harris reiterated her support for gun confiscation. During a question-and-answer session, an audience member asked Harris “Do you believe in the mandatory buyback of quote-unquote assault weapons and whether or not you do, how does that idea not go against fundamentally the Second Amendment?”
The candidate responded, “I do believe that we need to do buybacks.” Making clear that she believes Americans’ Second Amendment rights are for sale, the senator added “A buyback program is a good idea. Now we need to do it the right way. And part of that has to be, you know, buyback and give people their value, the financial value.”
Further demonstrating her commitment to gun confiscation, Harris called for a “mandatory buyback program” during an October 3, 2019 MSNBC gun control forum. Harris told those gathered, “We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program.”
A month later, Harris reiterated her support for gun confiscation to NBC Nightly News. When asked about the specifics of her confiscation program, Harris responded, “well what we’ll do is have an incentive for people to turn them in.”
Harris isn’t the only politician in recent years to make clear that they are in fact “trying to come after your guns.” Rather, overt calls for gun confiscation have become an obvious fixture of gun control politics.
During the second term of his presidency, Barack Obama repeatedly cited Australia’s confiscatory gun control measures when advocating for new U.S. gun controls. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton followed suit, expressing her support for Australia-style gun confiscation.
The campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination was replete calls for gun confiscation. In May 2019, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) expressed his support for gun confiscation to CNN, explaining, “We should have a law that bans these weapons and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons.” During the September 12, 2019, Democratic debate, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke was asked about his proposal to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. The former manny responded in part by saying, “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” In November 2018, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) famously suggested that nuclear weapons would make short work of those who might resist his gun confiscation program.
Then there is Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who just introduced a new version of her bill to ban commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines – S.736. Discussing her 1994 semi-auto ban – which sunset in 2004 – with CBS’s “60 Minutes” in 1995, the senator lamented the fact that she was unable to secure the votes to confiscate existing semi-automatic firearms. The former mayor of San Francisco stated, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it.”
Perhaps the reason so many gun owners believe that politicians are “trying to come after” their guns is that so many politicians are on the record advocating gun confiscation. NRA members and other gun rights supporters should work to inform others of these politicians’ gun confiscation agenda and to expose Harris’s shameless dishonesty.

It’s time for law enforcement organizations to speak out against federal gun control laws being proposed, such as:
Numerous LE agencies speak up about all sorts of laws – why is there no pressure on them to speak up in defense of the 2nd Amendment?
Most ‘law enforcement organizations’ are populated by metropolitan police forces. Their leadership is politically appointed by leftist politicians who run these progressive utopias like Chicago, New Yawk City, B’Mo, DC and SF/LA messes. The reflect the values of their political classes hence they are against natural law theory, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These uniformed poltitical activists are part of the problem and not part of the solution. That is why these national organizations are dead set against us. The rank and file cops dare not speak for fear of being purged by woke leadership.
I disagree. The majority of LEOs will follow all orders to enforce any law.
They are absolutely terrified of having to work in the private sector, and there is a reason for that fear.
Also, a large percentage of the LEOs who are eagerly enforcing never-ending gun control laws are veterans.
I’ll post it again, but it will go on hold since it’s a youtube video. Sometimes it doesn’t come off hold. The notion that the problem is only one of LEOs appointed by “leftist” politicians is a myth. Even rural sheriffs in “red” states want to cooperate with federal LEOs on never-ending gun control laws. Not only did the rural sheriffs, small town police chiefs, and the state police not come out condemning the draconian laws being proposed, they went out of their way to testify against proposals to prevent them from cooperating with federal LE on the draconian federal… Read more »
Every elected person that takes the oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States should do just that.
If they waiver one bit, then they should be removed from office for failing to uphold the oath they took, cut and dried they are removed.
“Every law enforcement officer who takes the oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States should do just that. If they waiver one bit, then they should be fired (and lose their pension) for failing to uphold the oath they took, cut and dried they are removed.”
The political classes, Republican and Democrat no longer believe in the Constitution nor do they believe in their oaths. They would be the ones to enforce such a measure. I don’t see it happening.
That isnt going to work anymore, voting wont stop them. This country is headed for a blood bath, if there is no blood bath America will go down like Venezuela, with a whimper.
Of course she is,That’s what marxist’s do is Lie.
She use to kneel…
Still does, behind closed doors… (although her friends/clients admit that her skills REALLY need improvement).
One can only hope and wish for her to the first one through the door…
Kamala Harris is a LIAR. She is the worst kind. She is a committed liar, with no remorse for doing so. She will lie at the blink of an eye. This is her nature. She is a scumbag.
And she’s also a 2bit garden tool (HOE) !!
I like whore better!
did she not pledge her fidelity to her husband, then spend far too much time on her back holding Slick Willi’e’s Willy? If she was not married at that time , she helped HIM to violate HIS marital vows, same thing. So she is well experienced at long term lying. Just like the leopard, she ain’t a gonna be changin her spots anytime soon.
Not lying. They are telling ‘noble fictions.’ Noble Fictions are white lies designed to convince the mindless masses that yes, the government really does know better and really does need to make every single decision that will determine the course and direction of your life. I learned that at San Francisco State U, 1979, Political Science, Summa Cum Laude. degree signed by Jerry Brown. Go figure. Semper Fidelis
Kamala Harris does not want to take the guns for Americans safety (which is impossible anyway) but for personal power. Restrictive gun laws nor gun confiscation has never made any countries citizens safer. It has however, made them more vulnerable in other words less safe. During that bloodiest of all centuries the twentieth century after the guns were rounded up by the dictator(s) the citizens who disagreed with the dictators policies were also rounded up and systematically murdered. Some were shot. Others were starved while even others were either beaten to death or worked to death. As we know some were even gassed. In any case many… Read more »
The new agenda for humanity requires that no one will have the capacity to fight back. It has been said: “Our Task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed.” No other explanation is possible. “A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.” – Kamala Harris. Uh, my bad, it was actually Vladimir Ilyich Lenin “Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.” – Sen. Diane FineStain. Uh….again, my bad. It was Heinrich Himmler. Sorry……Same objective…..different… Read more »
I’m tired of all the threats. Come and get them. Send your enforcers and we the people will treat them the same way the colonist treated King Georgies enforcers. Go for it you bitch.
Nothing to worry about – relax.
“The majority of Cops [sic] follow the Constitution, there are just a few bad apples” – Cruiser
Yeah!, right!
Harris is anti-gun, yet has or had her own permit and gun for personal protection and now has a gun toting security detail to protect her and her family. She shouldn’t be yapping about any form of gun control to us.
Uh….there it is….yep. She is a Libtard/Socialist….her lips were moving. She was lying. The whole article in a nut shell..
Won’t end weII for redcoats.
The actual redcoats have double-downed repeatedly in their support of never-ending gun laws (or at least their willingness to enforce them) and a large percentage of the firearm community who are retired government employees continue to apologize for the redcoats.
Remember, it wasn’t members of Parliament who took the field wearing red coats – they sent armed government employees. Nothing has changed.
I must say that I am truly afraid of what is going on in our country right now. Self-protection is a God given right guaranteed by the constitution. Not “granted” by the constitution, but guaranteed it shall not be infringed by government. When the government becomes tyrannical, we the people have the obligation to bring about our own change. We have become so comfortable being told that as long as we comply, the government will take care of us. “Here’s $1,400! Remember to stay six feet apart and get vaccinated!” Close your business down, destroy your way of life, because if… Read more »
REDUNDANT – The word redundant applies to things that are unnecessary or could be left out. Calling a blank sheet of paper empty is redundant. Teachers often tell students to avoid being redundant — meaning avoid saying something twice or more.
Yeah, we got 2400.00 dollars and had to send it back to pay taxes!
Not “granted” by the constitution, but guaranteed it shall not be infringed by government.
Sorry NO. Please find the place where only GOVERNMENT infringements are prohibited? NOWHERE, that’s where. Shalll not be infringed, full stop end of story. NO ONE and NOTHING can lawfully infringe upon our right.
Kamala Harris told a lie?! Say it ain’t so!
BTW, has anyone ever noticed that the rich and powerful who lead the efforts to confiscate the firearms of everyday citizens all, without exception, have concealed carry permits and/or armed bodyguards? Just as in Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”
Did she lie on the 4473 form, remember her bragging how she was smoking marijuana ?
That makes her a felon.
The Word of the Day: BODYBAGS
Using the Word of the Day in a sentence or statement:
“Come for our guns, any day, all day, but bring a huge amount of BODYBAGS!”
Swallowell said let’s Nuke them if they don’t comply. Right! There wouldn’t be anything left for him and others to rule……
Of course, she’s lying!! Her lips ARE moving…
manuy of them are two faced liars. Leland Yee comes readily to mind. He worked harder than most other Calif lawmakers to restrict firearms rights to all within that state’s boundaries, et is now laying down some hard time for his gun smuggling operations. Can’t remember his sentence, but it is nowhere near what it should have been. If I’d draw five years for selling one gun bypassing the NICS system, he traded thousands… at one year each he’d be locked up until the cows fly home with their own wings.
