Commentary: On the Second Amendment, Harris shoots herself in the foot — again
Opinion by Amy Swearer, The Heritage Foundation • 1h
It’s hard to reconcile Vice President Kamala Harris’s friendly overtures to gun owners with the footage that recently emerged of a 2007 press conference in which the then-district attorney of San Francisco said cops could conduct random home inspections to enforce compliance with the city’s new “safe storage” laws.
Yes, really.
She told reporters:
"We're going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and 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."
On the one hand, it’s not particularly surprising to hear Harris voice her support for a policy that, even as gun control “wish lists” go, is pretty extreme. This press conference occurred, after all, just one year before she signed onto an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller that defended the district’s complete ban on handgun possession and argued against any constitutional right to own guns in the first place.
She may now begrudgingly pay lip service to the Second Amendment and tout her status as a gun owner, but it’s no secret that she remains perfectly willing to trample on Americans’ right to keep and bear arms.
