A resurfaced video from 2007 showing Kamala Harris, then San Francisco District Attorney, discussing the possibility of authorities entering private homes to check on gun storage safety has ignited backlash from gun rights advocates.
In the 15-second video, Harris, speaking at a press conference about a gun control ordinance, stated, “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 and safe in the way you conduct your affairs.”
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) Chairman Alan Gottlieb expressed alarm at Harris's comments, describing them as both "stunning" and a reflection of her long-standing anti-gun position.
“This was Kamala’s typical word salad, but with vinegar dressing,” the veteran gun rights advocate observed. “Taken at face value, this remark underscores our contention that she has been an anti-gun extremist throughout her political career.
Gottlieb also pointed out that Harris, a former prosecuting attorney, should have known that such an approach would violate the Fourth Amendment, which protects against warrantless searches.
"The Bill of Rights means nothing to Kamala Harris if it stands in the way of her gun prohibition agenda. What she was suggesting was, and remains, simply outrageous. It clearly shows the lengths and depths to which Harris would go in her personal war against the Second Amendment," said Gottlieb.
Did a Kamala Harris staffer say that the VP ‘doesn’t’ own a firearm?
“Just like Joe Biden, Harris claims she is a gun owner,” Gottlieb added, “because it serves her political purpose. It’s not about whether she owns a gun. It’s clear she doesn’t want anyone else to have one.”
