A spokesman for the Citizens Committee for the Right To Keep and Bear Arms warns that the new Democratic nominee could be even more “radical” than the current President.
Last week, President Joe Biden decided to step down for re-election, instead handing the Democratic nomination to his current Vice President Kamala Harris. While many are excited about the move, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) has concerns.
“If you think Joe Biden is bad on gun rights, Kamala Harris will prove to be worse,” the Committee noted in a statement.
“Since her days in the California Legislature, Kamala Harris has been an ardent gun prohibitionist,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb in the statement.
“When she first arrived at the U.S. Senate, she co-sponsored gun control legislation to ban so-called ‘assault weapons.’ When she ran for president in 2020, she called for a ‘mandatory buy-back’ program, which translates to compensated gun confiscation.
“For the past several months she’s been over-seeing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which is a thinly-disguised, first-of-its-kind mini-bureaucracy established by this administration to generate restrictive gun control policies which are pushed in states controlled by Democrat administrations.
“We know Kamala Harris, like her boss and her Capitol Hill allies, is an anti-gun-rights extremist whose ultimate goal is to reduce the fundamental right protected by the Second Amendment to nothing more than a government-regulated privilege,” Gottlieb continued. “She talks about how she believes in freedom, but evidently that belief suddenly evaporates when it comes to the freedom to own a gun and choose what kind of firearm you want to own.
“Joe Biden has been a 50-year bad dream,” he concluded. “Kamala Harris would be a nightmare.”
A spokesman for the CCRKBA joins us now to discuss this matter further. We welcome them to the show.
Q&A:
- Is Harris really that much bigger a threat to guns than Biden was?
- Do you believe she’ll use an anti-gun push as she tries to build up anticipation for the Presidential election?
- Could such a push give Donald Trump the boost he needs to get back in office?
- Where do you see the battle over guns going in the next few months? Could Biden make yet another push for an assault weapons ban before he leaves office?
- Where can people call in to pledge their support to the CCRKBA?
