Kamala Harris Spotted Being Protected by Type of Gun She Wants Banned

Protection for me, not for thee.

That’s the message being sent by Kamala Harris, senator from California and your Democratic vice p**********l nominee. In fact, many would argue she’s running to be the president-in-waiting as opposed to the vice president.

Harris was in Florida last week, a critical state for the ticket to win. There was plenty of news to come out of the trip, but not entirely noticed by many was who was surrounding Harris.

I’m not talking about politicians or cultural figures. I’m talking about her security:

Yes, there were plenty of well-armed police and other law enforcement officers around her, including at least one guard armed with what Democrats are fond of referring to as a “weapon of war” or “assault weapon.”

According to the U.K. Daily Mail, a Secret Service agent with the AR-15-style gun was seen helping to protect Harris as she left Florida Memorial University on Sept. 10.

As the outlet pointed out, during her p**********l campaign, Harris took a hardline stance on gun control.

“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,” she said during a CNN town hall.

“We need reasonable gun safety laws in this country, starting with universal background checks and a renewal of the assault weapon ban,” she added, according to The New York Times, “but they have failed to have the courage to act.”

As primary-season vows to ban your guns go, Harris’ promise was somewhat overshadowed by Beto O’Rourke’s “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47” line. However, it shouldn’t have been for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Harris is now in position to be Biden’s No. 2 (or No. 1b, depending on how you parse the Biden-Harris ticket) should they win in November.

Her vow was essentially a pledge to tell the Republicans to enact her gun control measures or she’d do it for them via executive order. (It is, however, unclear whether Harris planned to use executive action to implement an outright ban on so-called “assault weapons.” According to Politico, she vowed to ban the importation of such firearms “until the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can analyze whether they should be permanently banned under U.S. law.”)

This Constitution-baiting proposal was essentially asking Congress to put its imprimatur on her plans without debate or she’d just enact them. And remember, this isn’t just Harris — Biden wants to ban AR-15-style so-called “assault weapons” as well:

Of course, Harris is the cogent member of the duo the Democrats are putting forth for the presidency, so one might assume she could accomplish a bit more.

And yes, as the U.K. Daily Mail pointed out: “It’s worth noting, however, that Secret Service agents are trained and equipped to handle such a weapon.” To which I respond with four words: “Shall not be infringed.” I’m curious what part of that construct she has trouble understanding.

Oh yes, and she also had plenty of police protection. In fact, police came to Miami from as far as Homestead, Florida — some 30 miles away.

This is interesting because Harris has given signals she’s for defunding the police. She’s been cagey about the issue, telling “The View” back in June that “a big part of this conversation really is about reimagining how we do public safety in America, which I support,” according to CNN.

In an interview with The Times, she said this: “Many cities in our country spend one-third of their entire budget on policing. With all the responsibilities those cities have, one-third on policing? Put it in the context of the fact that over the last many decades, we have essentially been defunding public schools. If anyone thinks that the way we’re going to cure these problems is by putting more police on the street, they’re wrong.”

Another quote from Harris on the issue: “For far too long, the status quo thinking has been to believe that by putting more police on the street you’re going to have more safety. And that’s just wrong, that’s not how it works.”

It sometimes is, particularly when you look at tine increased crime in the wake of the Black L***s M****r protests, when police pulled back for a variety of reasons.

While Harris hasn’t come straight out and said she’s for defunding law enforcement, it’s clear that she supports shifting money away from law enforcement to different areas under the auspices of ending crime, which is a nice way of saying defunding.

Yes, but Kamala Harris is a vice p**********l candidate and she needs heavy protection from law enforcement, right?

Well, yes. However, this kind of brings home the point: At some level, we’re all entitled to protection under the Second Amendment. For some of us, our firearms are all we have.

We’re not necessarily targets the way Harris is — but if we become targets, we don’t have the Secret Service or the police offering round-the-clock protection.

It’s also worth pointing out that this brought home a bedrock fact about gun control: You’re not getting rid of certain types of guns. You’re deciding who gets a monopoly on them.

One of the functions of the Second Amendment is that it allows citizens a certain degree of protection not only against intruders but also against their own government.

That’s something to remember as you watch Harris surrounded by men and women carrying the same guns her ticket wants to ban.

Not to worry Sailor, this assault gun warrior was only in response to the right wing promise of civil war and k*****g who they wanted..

the right wing only want to k**l unarmed Democrats... so hold your gun close, they will not bother you..
Or me for that matter.. I am not unarmed..

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Hmmmmmm....i remember a baseball game not long ago about some unarmed politicians and some political nut shot unarmed people......im a little fuzzy on the details, can you clarify the facts for me?

Kevyn

We are all being protected by aircraft carriers and nuclear missiles it sure as hell doesn't mean everyone is entitled to own them.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

Of course I can willy...

it was this crazy groundskeeper who lost his temper over them walking on his new mown grass.. he showed them.. he mowed better then he shot..

I spos you could insist on a fact check on this story if you think it merits that much effort..

I thought the "get off my lawn" type were only conservatives.

Big Kahuna

Komsmella Hairass, since she wants to defund the police should immediately defund her Secret Service detail, rid herself of all guns for protection, move to a demorat crime ridden city populated by the F*****t groups like A****a and Black Lies Matter and make sure the Biden criminal enterprise family does the same. I might consider v****g for her and Slo Joe when they denounce their anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-a******n, and anti-American ideology, repent for their sinfulness and take an oath that they really plan on abiding by and not just giving lip service to an oath that they have no plans to follow.

Big Kahuna

The right wing is nothing to be concerned about but you left wingers are the real problem. A****a, Black Lies Matter, the l*****t universities teaching marxism, the l*****t biased corrupt major media, the supporters of Nike and C****e China (the nfl, nba, mlb, nascar, wta) are the real scoundrels, tearing our country apart, l**ting, raping, firebombing, destroying private property, kneebending and desecrating our f**g, blaming "whitey" for their own problems and promoting r****m. Need I say more perm? You really are one clueless l*****t hack. Pack up your belongings and head to Maduro or Kim Un country. That is a better fit for you. I'll even pay for your relocation.

Big Kahuna

That water pistol you carry around and your vintage cap gun will be useless when real justice comes calling for the payback that you l*****ts have caused our great country to ensure for the last 4 years and add an additional 8 years for that fraud and anti-American resident, Barrack insane Ovommit. No, the f**e l*****t ovommit inspired social justice won't help you out. Keep your caps dry and your water gun filled with some Evian water. You will need them.

Big Kahuna

Those aircraft carriers can't help me when some A****a or black lies matter thug is harassing me on the street as I am walking to my job. On the other hand a Colt 45 will do the job handily. Or I could just use my car as a battering ram and take a few thugs out, hopefully the felons that the demorat politicians just released on the streets to harass law abiding citizens.

Big Kahuna

The shooter was a l*****t thug who was a l*****t extremist who worshipped the demorat party. Che, castro, ovommit, hitlery and Mao were some of his heroes just like all extreme l*****ts (which now includes the entire demorat party).

But Clint made me a proud practitioner..

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

Larry, while I find you odd in any event.. in particular the fear that the right wing expresses seems very odd.

they are the ones who carry rifles into fast food joints, call for war against anyone who does not support the lawless activity of the oval office occupant or his henchmen..

Then without facts or reasons name call and insult organization working toward equal rights for oppressed groups in our society..

You divert back to what your think were events by other leaders, yesterday I posted some excepts from a business article involving your ronnie raygun hero.. did you read it..

More to the point did you follow the link and read it all? I know you did not.. never one for a challenge , name calling is your approach..

While we are still paying the price Reagan economy, he does not hold a candle to the wreakage that trump will do if reelected, would pale the condition we have now..

But you seem fine with such actions as long as it makes other people upset.. you care not even for yourselves..

Big Kahuna

Perm, you are past redemption. Every day you move further and further from the t***h and further and further toward insanity and extreme l*****t/marxist idealism. If Trump were so corrupt, your group of bandits and criminals in cohoots with the corrupt msm would have already filed false charges (for about the 50th time) and started impeachment proceedings again with a big fat nothingburger being produced while wasting $$$billions of taxpayer money and another 3 years of unending demorat bull $hit. If you had any common sense you would have left the demonic demorat party years ago. If I was a demorat, once ovommit said he wanted to fundamentally change our country (to a marxist country), I would have left. Instead ovommit layed down the seeds for r****m, radical l*****t groups like black lies matter (a marxist, anti-Christian, anti-American group) and A****a to follow his post-presidency. To think you are still ignorant about your parties goals just shows how "TDS" has destroyed your brain.

Geez larry, you still don't know what President Obama said after all the times we have posted the correction..

trump... for now he is being protected by Barr and the DOJ... and he was indeed impeached.

it was the McConnell senate which refused to remove him from office as any sane group would have quickly done.
