Like most of her other Democratic cohorts running for president in 2020, California Sen. Kamala Harris has enthusiastically joined in the race toward the far left, particularly on the issue of strict gun control and the Second Amendment. Harris has already stated that, should she be elected president of the United States, she would grant Congress 100 days to take legislative action on gun control before she would resort to unilaterally using executive actions to impose a variety of restrictions on firearms and gun ownership by herself. Politico reported that Harris just revealed on Wednesday what one of those executive orders would be — a complete ban on the importation of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles, which she referred to as “assault weapons.” The ban would be in place until the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives could reach a determination as to whether such weapons were suitable for civilian ownership or not. Kamala Harris As to her proposed ban on the importation of AR-15-style rifles and other so-called “assault weapons” or “weapons of war,” Harris’ campaign defended that likely unconstitutional proposal by asserting that semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15 or AK-47 weren’t “suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes,” such as competitive target shooting or hunting.
