Monday night’s CNN Town Hall was one of the first opportunities for the top Democratic presidential contenders to come together and share their views on allowing child rapists, terrorists and murderers to vote, and other formerly radical policies that have somehow found their way into the Democratic mainstream.
As each candidate vied to outdo one another, California Sen. Kamala Harris, widely rumored to have the party’s implicit backing as the “establishment choice” in a widening field of nearly two dozen candidates, boldly declared that she would take executive action to force federal agencies to write new rules on gun control should Congress “fail to act”.
“Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action,” Harris said Monday.
An aide to Harris said the senator would direct the ATF “to promulgate a regulation” that makes it so that “if you sell five or more guns for profit a year, you will be considered a ‘dealer’ and required to perform background checks.”
She added that she would push to “ban assault weapons”, which, as she is no doubt aware thanks to her time as a prosecutor (though most non-gun-owning Americans probably don’t understand the difference) would mean banning most semi-automatic weapons, leaving hunters and hobbyists with revolvers and pump-action rifles and shotguns.

For those who are still unclear about what Harris means by ‘banning assault weapons’, here’s a flowchart that California, one of the few states that has maintained its own assault weapons ban, uses to determine what is and isn’t illegal.
Harris’s sweeping gun control plan includes proposals to require universal background checks (federal law only requires background checks by licensed dealers, leading to the so-called ‘gun show’ loophole), reinstate a federal “assault weapons ban” that was initially passed by President Bill Clinton and remained in effect between 1994 to 2004, ban high-capacity ammunition clips, make gun trafficking a federal crime and prohibit those convicted of a federal hate crime from buying firearms.
Among her more controversial proposals is her plan to repeal the Protection of Commerce in Arms Act, a 2005 law that shields gun makers and sellers from liability for crimes committed using their weapons.
Of course, the Harris campaign acknowledged that the candidate’s plan would, if enacted, almost certainly face court challenges. But breaking the impasse on gun control, which has divided Republicans and Democrats, is a top Democratic priority, since politicians have cynically convinced grieving communities that tightening background checks and restrictions on gun purchases will somehow magically solve the problem of mass shootings.
Oh, and as if her radical gun control proposals weren’t enough to secure some headline real estate, Harris also became one of the first Democratic contenders in the mainstream to publicly support impeachment for President Trump.
Nancy Pelosi will be thrilled, we imagine.

I saw .50 caliber BMG rifles on the list. Has one ever been used in the commission of a crime? So, it’s clearly not about public safety now is it.
While the author does not have a very good understanding of firearms in general, having left lever action rifles out of the allowed weapons, she does represent Kamala Harris’s position well enough. One would have to ask why any candidate would take on such a position knowing the will of the people and the stacked supreme court and the second amendment to the constitution. Surely, they wouldn’t say that they were going to do that even if they fully intended to do it. They would just lie to merkins and then take away their rights once they got into office. But no, she has to shoot off her bbc hole. This leads me to predict that Trump will be elected for a second term. Even now, more than a year from the election, the leading democratic candidates are sabotaging their campaigns in exactly the way that Hillary did with her deplorable comment. The way that Mitt did all those years ago. Clearly the goal is to have Trump in office for two terms. I don’t know why, but they put him there to do a job just like they put Obama there to do a job and they know it will take eight years to do it. This article is just one of the tools that they use to ensure that the right (correct) candidate is voted for.
Free Speech,
Write more comments like the one you made above. You look and sound much more cogent.
Saying the same thing over and over again is a bit antisocial.
The political equivalent of ‘virtue signaling’ – “I care about PEOPLE (tax slaves) and want them to be SAFE (powerless to resist), and I will do my part to make the world a better place by turning law-abiding citizens (gun freaks/white supremacists/Easter worshippers) into felons with the swipe of my EO pen, because it is what has to be done for everyone’s SAFETY (perpetual tax monies/fees/fines/penalties).
If she says and does what she needs to win the nomination, she’ll probably be unelectable in the general. Obama could flash his smile and seem likable enough. Harris always has a look on her face like she’s disgusted. She acts like a city council member who’s going to vote against your variance request just because you’re white. She’s not likable. And the kind of PC-speak that works in the Bay Area doesn’t work in Wisconsin.
You mean RBF?………….resting bitch face
Ginsburg needs to hurry up and die.
Indeed. At least we could replace her with an Easter Worshipper. Although that didn’t work too well with Roberts…
Blackmail is an art…and evidently Obama was a Rembrandt…

I move that we take up a collection for a couple of pillows embroidered with “RBG” and a one way ticket to a hunting preserve in Texas so the old gal can kick back and enjoy life for half a night.

Shit, I am surprised they put a US flag on that stamp.
When Democrats tell us what they think I think about the second amendment and what it was meant for.
If this woman were to win the presidency, I’d find myself forced to begin a phased de-dollarization, something I’d prefer not to do quite yet. As for y’all living in the USA, I suspect you’d find yourselves forced to consider stronger options.

CNN Town Hall 8:49 PM – Apr 22, 2019
With such outrageous positions on gun control, prisoner rights, illegal immigration, and abortion among a whole platform of “progressiveness”; punishing the law abiding and rewarding the law-breaking, it is debatable if this individual knows the difference between right and wrong at its most basic level. Yet Ms. Harris is a U.S. senator.
Breathtakingly scary.
The agenda is obvious to anyone who isn’t blind.
The moderates within the Democratic Party are pretty much long gone and the extremism is out in the open for everyone to see. The plan is to replace the white Christian male demographic with the analog alternative. This is why immigration and open borders is so important to Democrats.
Voting-age American citizens will be replaced and outnumbered at the ballot box by non-citizens and criminals by a simple majority if these fucking ignorant Democrats get their way.
They want to precipitate an active crisis. They are going to get it, but it seems they’re too stupid understand the problems they’re creating might escape their ability to control.
Might as well just say “the Republic is doomed”.
There was a front page story in the local paper yesterday with the title “Indians Exerting Their Influence”.
It’s about dot heads. The NJ towns of Edison and Iselin are known as Little India. Literally many many thousands of them. The “influence” they are exerting is political. The dotheads are overwhelmingly Democrats and have successfully installed gobs of Democrats at the state and local level. Now they are going national. The article interviewed some dot head leader who said that dot head will overwhelmingly vote for either Kamala or Tulsi Gabbard.
Dot heads are not your friends.
Oh, they are not enemies either, per se. They do work hard, generally try to assimilate (they speak English), and you hardly ever hear of them committing violent crimes, abuse drugs, etc. However, in terms of assimilation they tend to congregate only with their own kind — which is fine by me except, you can still smell them from 200 feet away.
But, in terms of American/Christian values? They are nothing at all like you and me.
I really wish we wouldn’t allow them into this country …. they breed like rabbits and there could be a billion of them here before you know it.
Tulsi Gabbard is probably the only democrat I could vote for.
A democratic vote cast is a vote wasted.
Tulsi is cute but she has never met a gun control law she didn’t like and she also supported Corey Booker’s reparation bullshit. She is another liberal shill.
Stucky a “dot head” is actually your friend.Think about it a moment,they have made target acquisition head shot so much easier.
When I was doing grad work there were a couple dots in our department; they had to communicate in English since neither understood the other’s home dialect. Pretty hard headed characters. One had fallen in love with a used Olds 88; when he asked for advice about it I suggested he find a more economical car in better shape. He bought the Olds and it was in the shop more than at his house. The irony of it was I had thought about telling him that those older flashy cars usually were bought by Negroes (African American had not been invented yet). I felt pretty sure that would have driven some sense into his thinking, but decided not to go out on that limb.
I have no exceptions with any of Stuck’s statements.
I continue to believe subjecting shitheads like her to public derision can be effective. I ALWAYS refer to her as Kamalato Ho-ass.
Kamala… you need to have Willie check your fluids [again], I think you’re a quart low…
Somebody owes me a keyboard…
With the exception of Hillary Clinton, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Comey, and Dianne Feinstein, there is no high-profile person I dislike more strongly than Kamala Harris. Cory Booker is a joke, Bernie Sanders is an aging socialist, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are disgruntled, bitter, America-hating overgrown children, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a teenager unfit for office.
But Kamala Harris is a particularly vile individual. She laughed along with Booker while Justice Brett Kavanaugh gave his opening statement last fall, and Harris of all people had no moral right to question Kavanaugh’s personal ethics given that he unlike her never fornicated his way to powerful positions.
In addition, Harris knew Kavanaugh was innocent but went along with that shameful and cruel face to stop a Republican President’s appointee to SCOTUS from being appointed and sworn in.
But what maddens me is that this disgusting individual, whose own forefathers owned slaves yet wants reparations, has the affrontery to call for these draconian “gun control” measures when she herself owns a firearm for personal protection. She can afford all the private bodyguards she could ever want; the best, strongest, fittest, most experienced, and most intimidating security detail that money can buy. Yet she wants the average American to be deprived of weapons she herself does not need because of the protection she can acquire for herself.
If this pathetic excuse for a senator is chosen by the Democrats, I hope President Trump eviscerates her hypocrisy on live national TV, starting with her whoremongering ways.
The next civil war needs to start somehow. Would not be a shock if the democrats kicked it off.
Like I said, they are intent on precipitating a crisis, political or otherwise.
There’s a parable about two blind fools and a ditch.
That would be the 1st ‘civil war’. There has been no civil war in the US before.
True. The US’ War between the States was actually a war of succession, not a Civil War. A civil war is a far more vicious event than a war, think Spain in the late 1930s, in many ways the American Revolution, Tories vs Patriots was more of a Civil War, than the “Civil War”
That’s secession.
It would be a sort of poetic justice for a negress whore to initiate our next war between the States.
Civil War 2: Elected Jigaboo
hahahahaha I wonder how many appreciate this one!
She isn’t black. She’s half dot Indian and half Jamaican. Will agree to the whore part.
Jamaican = Negro Pot Connoisseur
Gemaican I like to say.
She ain’t “Natural Born” either.
Butthole baby? That’s what qualifies her as a politician.
These are the most vile people on the planet. Liars beyond all comprehension.
How about we hold drug makers responsible for their products?
How about we hold government responsible when they kill or hurt someone?
How about we hold carmakers responsible for their products and how they are used?
How about we hold food producers responsible for the harm their products cause?
Ad nauseam.
The more more these vile , disgusting bitches and bastards speak the more i realize how important a good sniper rifle will become. My ” sniper ” rifle is my M1a with 20 round magazines. Probably the best over all battle rifle but hard for me to hit targets beyond 400 yards even with scope . I can hit the kill zone but not every time . Very frustrating .Maybe I don’t practice enough. I try to get to the range at least once every 3 months but I guess I need more time on range.
Well, yes every three months is pretty tough, but I have to admit that I never thought of the M1A as a sniper rifle. You may be pushing that platform to try and get beyond 200 yards unless you bought the super match one. Even there, 400 yards?
Let’s get the rules (laws) ready for Civil War 2…
OK…there are no rules (laws) when about half of us are felons…there will just be two things:
1. Sides
2. Causalities
Ok, dudes . . . (hits bong) blurble, blurble, blurble:
This sounds like a great idea, but I think we should start with the moron who invented the wheel. Without it, yeah, so what we never woulda had apple carts to upset or wagon trains or steam-locomotives, but more important, no cars. And without cars, we got no drunk drivers. So, since that original wheel-inventor-guy-or-gal-or-it is dead, let’s sue General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler and hold those guys responsible for all of the drunk-driving deaths that have occurred in the last hundred whatever years. I mean, without a car or truck or compact suv, a drunk driver is a drunk walker and it is SO rare that a drunk walker actually kills anybody, right? I mean, sometimes they wander into traffic BUT with no traffic, they are safe there, too, and otherwise, they are in danger of falling off a roof or a bridge and who gets drunk and walks on rooftops, anyway? That’s stoopid. So, yeah , let’s sue them first. Then let’s sue gas companies for all of the arsons that have been committed with gasoline, diesel, used motor oil, and other petroleum distillates, cuz, without accelerants, arson is HARD. I mean, like, you ever rub two sticks together to start an actual fire? That sh*t takes TIME. I mean, yeah, there is the cotton-ball-in-vaseline but DAMN IT, there again, petroleum distillate thingy. Then, let’s sue the match companies for making the matches that started all those arsons AND for all the fires that little kids set because they jacked a book of matches from Grandpa because they kinda liked the smell and POOF, the drapes catch, the bedspread, and then the whole house is ashes, and the kid burned his/her eyebrows off and is scarred forever, cuz of them sonofabitch*s. Then we can sue the lumber companies that provided the wood for the matches AND for the framing in the houses BECAUSE their product was faulty because it was not fire proof, and if it weren’t for that, we AIN’T havin’ this conversation.
Blurble, blurble.
Yeah, great idea, Kamala. Blurble. And, uh, er . . . anybody ever tell you you kinda look like a horse?Only in the actual face, but yeah.
Like she has a chance of winning. GTFOH
