Kamala Harris has yet to personally address her past support for a handgun ban and confiscation in San Francisco or her 2007 statement about walking into the locked homes of legal gun owners to inspect how their guns are stored. 

🚨Kamala Harris wants mass gun confiscation, and she’s willing to weaponize the government to enter your home and seize your legally owned guns:

Fox News's Jacqui Heinrich did get a response from the Harris campaign about those comments on Monday, but the campaign spin simply doesn't make sense. 

A Harris campaign aide confirms to FOX the VP was not suggesting searches that would violate the 4th amendment, when she appeared to suggest in a 2007 press conference that police could enter homes of gun owners and make sure weapons are stored properly.

“Just because you…

Harris said that police could walk into the locked homes of legal gun owners to "check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs." How would that not violate the Fourth Amendment? Harris didn't say anything about probable cause or a reasonable suspicion of a crime being broken. Quite the opposite, actually. She said that police could enter gun owners homes just to "check" on how their guns were being stored. The campaign can claim all it wants that she wasn't suggesting searches that would violate the Fourth Amendment, but she said what she said, and it was clear that Harris didn't believe there needed to be evidence of a crime or a violation of San Francisco's gun storage law before police invaded the "sanctity of your locked home" to see how you're storing your guns. 

That wasn't the only attempt to gaslight voters on Harris's real views on the right to keep and bear arms. 

he Harris campaign tells FOX of Harris’ 2007 remark surrounding gun storage inspections, “As Vice President Harris said on the debate stage, she is a gun owner who supports common-sense safety laws that Donald Trump opposes. As she has her entire career, Vice President Harris will uphold and defend the law and rights of Americans, including the 2nd Amendment. What Vice President Harris won’t do is tell families to ‘get over it’ or brag about doing ‘nothing’ in the face of gun violence like Donald Trump. The law in question, requiring sensible gun storage in homes, was upheld by Republican appointed judges in the ninth circuit and declined to be reviewed by the Supreme Court.”

Her entire career, huh? So when Harris backed Proposition H in San Francisco, which would have banned the possession and sale of handguns and required existing owners to hand them over to the San Francisco police, that was upholding and defending the right to keep and bear arms? 

According to the Harris campaign, she was upholding our Second Amendment rights when she led a coalition of District Attorneys in arguing that Washington, D.C's ban on handguns should be upheld by the Supreme Court and it should not adopt an individual rights view of the Second Amendment. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like support for our right to keep and bear arms to me. 

Harris has defended plenty of gun control laws over her political career, but there's no evidence that she's ever defended our right to keep and bear arms or even complained that a particular gun control law goes too far. 

Harris claims to have purchased a pistol for self-defense when she was D.A. in San Francisco. Was that before or after she advocated for a handgun ban for everyone else in the city? The campaign won't say. Did Harris ever change her mind about a collective rights interpretation of the Second Amendment? The campaign won't say. Why does Harris supposedly no longer support a mandatory "buyback" of so-called assault weapons, as she did just five years ago? Once again, the campaign won't say. 

There's a good reason why Harris and her campaign can't shoot straight with voters on her expansive history of anti-2A extremism: it would cost her votes. It's better for her candidacy if she gaslights the American people about her views on the right to keep and bear arms than to own up to her past statements. The truth hurts, or would at least hurt her chances of getting elected president. That's why she's running away from her previous positions instead of running on them. She hasn't had a change of heart. She's said herself that her values haven't changed, even as many of her positions have undergone a makeover. And throughout her career in politics, Kamala Harris has placed no value whatsoever on our right to keep and bear arms.
