BELLEVUE, WA – “If you think Joe Biden is bad on gun rights, Kamala Harris will prove to be worse,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is warning America’s gun owners as the vice president has now launched her bid to become the next president.
“Since her days in the California Legislature, Kamala Harris has been an ardent gun prohibitionist,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “When she first arrived at the U.S. Senate, she co-sponsored gun control legislation to ban so-called ‘assault weapons.’ When she ran for president in 2020, she called for a ‘mandatory buy-back’ program, which translates to compensated gun confiscation.
“For the past several months,” he continued, “she’s been over-seeing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which is a thinly-disguised, first-of-its-kind mini-bureaucracy established by this administration to generate restrictive gun control policies which are pushed in states controlled by Democrat administrations.
“Hopefully,” Gottlieb observed, “she has been just as ineffective and inefficient as the administration’s ‘gun czar’ as she was as Joe Biden’s ‘border czar.’ Even as she launched her campaign in Milwaukee, gun control was part of her agenda as she called for a ban on modern semiautomatic rifles and advocated for so-called ‘universal background checks,’ which translates to national gun registration, neither of which would prevent criminals from illegally obtaining firearms.
“We know Kamala Harris, like her boss and her Capitol Hill allies, is an anti-gun-rights extremist whose ultimate goal is to reduce the fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment to nothing more than a government-regulated privilege,” Gottlieb said. “She talks about how she believes in freedom, but evidently that belief suddenly evaporates when it comes to the freedom to own a gun and choose what kind of firearm you want to own.
“Joe Biden has been a 50-year bad dream,” he said. “Kamala Harris would be a nightmare.”
