Video of Harris Threatening to Invade Gun Owners’ Homes Resurfaces
An old video of Vice President Kamala Harris has resurfaced that might cost her at the polls in November.
The video footage shows Harris while she was the DA of San Francisco speaking about invading gun owners’ homes to ensure they are “being responsible.”
“Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible,” she said.
Harris made the statement in May 2007 during a press conference about introducing legislation she co-drafted aimed at imposing penalties on gun owners who do not properly store their firearms at home, according to Fox News Digital.
The bill was signed into law by then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who called it “the strictest anti-gun laws in the county.”
At the time, Harris described the measure as a way to legislate “our values” and “encourage certain kinds of behavior.”
“When we create laws, it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior,” she said.
In her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris told CNN’s Dana Bush that her values had not changed, as she continues to flip-flop on major policy issues, some of which mirror Trump’s policies.
Critics often label her a chameleon, accusing her of changing policies to suit whichever group she’s campaigning for.
“As she said last night in her interview, her values have not changed. She said that over and over again,” Lora Ries, an expert in border security from the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital following the interview.
“She is telling her base, ‘Look, don’t worry about what the campaign is saying right now. We just have to say that to try and get elected. But my values have not changed.’”
When Trump pressed her on her constant change in policies at the debate, including supporting gun buyback programs to “confiscate everybody’s gun” during her previous presidential run, she denied the claim.
“This business about taking everyone’s guns away. Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anybody’s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff,” she said.
If Harris stands behind her statement that her policies have not changed, that means that she is in favor of confiscating millions of guns, invading the freedom of millions of Americans, which contradicts her campaign theme of “freedom” and gives gun owners something to consider heading into November.
