Vice President Kamala Harris is facing intense backlash following her recent tweet advocating for an assault weapons ban. In a clear and unequivocal message, Harris stated that “weapons of war have no place on the streets of a civil society” and called on Congress to pass the ban, with President Biden ready to sign it into law.
Critics from all corners swiftly responded to Harris’ tweet, expressing their vehement opposition to her stance. Renowned radio host and author Dr. Mark Young took to social media, challenging Harris directly: “Let’s make a deal, Kamala. We can ban all the weapons that you can demonstrate are used on actual battlefields. And spoiler alert: the AR-15 isn’t one of them.”
The American Firearms Association, a staunch supporter of gun rights, wasted no time in criticizing Harris and ridiculing her position. In a scathing response, they wrote, “laughs in bimbo Kamala Why did we leave $7 billion worth of real weapons of war on the streets of Afghanistan? Because they are not suitable for civil society!”
Patrick Parsons, the executive vice president of the American Firearms Association, added fuel to the fire, proclaiming, “Thanks to your tweet, Kamala, we’ll be heading out to buy even more firearms this weekend!”
Dana Loesch, a respected radio host and former spokesperson for the NRA, reminded Harris of the essential role that weapons of war played in the founding of our great nation. She tweeted, “This republic was built by free people who wielded weapons of war. They literally created this society. You can try to ban them, but rest assured, Biden won’t sign anything.”
The debate surrounding Harris’ call for an assault weapons ban also reignited discussions about the historical significance of an armed citizenry as a defense against tyranny. Attorney Kostas Moros emphasized, “A civil society requires ‘weapons of war’ precisely because tyrants throughout history have made societies anything but civil.”
The Firearms Policy Coalition, a leading gun advocacy group, echoed this sentiment, boldly declaring, “Our natural right to self-defense cannot be negotiated. Stand with us or step aside.”
Critics also pointed out the perceived hypocrisy of Harris advocating for disarmament while benefiting from armed security personnel. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky directly challenged Harris, stating, “Your bodyguards and numerous ‘civil’ agencies possess the same firearms you label as weapons of war.”
Steve Cortes, the national spokesman for the Ron DeSantis PAC, added to the discussion, calling for an inventory of Harris’ security team’s weapons. He asked, “Why are they entitled to such firearms while regular citizens are not? The Second Amendment clearly states, ‘[S]hall not be infringed.'”
The call for an assault weapons ban by Kamala Harris has ignited a passionate debate across the nation. As passionate Republican voters, we must remain steadfast in protecting our Second Amendment rights and challenging any attempts to infringe upon them.
