Of course, Kamala is in favor of gun bans. Her claim, true or not, is not proof that she supports our 2A.
Though Kamala Harris claims to be a gun owner herself and has declared on the campaign trail that she’s not “going to take everyone’s guns away”, she’s yet to offer any explanation about when or if her views on the right to keep and bear arms have changed since her days as San Francisco’s District Attorney, when she backed a referendum banning handguns that required existing owners to hand them in to police and co-authored an amicus brief calling on the Supreme Court to reject an individual rights interpretation of the Second Amendment.
Now the Free Beacon has unearthed more comments from Harris during her tenure as D.A. that suggests she was in favor of an outright ban on gun possession, though she didn’t believe it was all that feasible.
Harris, who was serving as district attorney of San Francisco at the time, spoke at a 2006 event hosted by the Commonwealth Club of California, where the moderator asked whether gun ownership should be banned.
