Kamala Harris vows to take executive action on gun control if elected
The New York Post ^ | May 12, 2019 | Nikki Schwab

Posted on 05/13/2019 7:26:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sen. Kamala Harris pledged Sunday that she will pursue executive action on gun control measures if Congress fails to act in the first 100 days of her presidential administration.

“I’m proposing, one, that if by my 100th day in office when elected president of the United States, if the United States Congress fails to put a bill on my desk … then I’m prepared to take executive action because that’s what’s needed: action,” Harris, a California Democrat and 2020 hopeful, said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Harris had first articulated the plan at a CNN town hall in late April, but bought it up again Sunday on the heels of yet another school shooting, in which 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo was killed after rushing the gunman to save his classmates.

“We are not waiting on tragedies and we are not waiting on good ideas,” Harris said, pointing to the “heroism of a child who we now mourn his loss, his parents’ only child.”

When asked how she liked Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) proposal for a federal gun registry she answered, “I like the idea. But, Jake, I’m going to tell you, on the issue of the need for gun safety laws, we’re not at any loss for good ideas. People have been having good ideas for decades on this issue.”

Booker is also vying for the White House.

Harris said that the country was waiting for Congress to act.

If she was forced to take executive action, Harris said she would require those who sell more than five guns a year to do background checks.

She would also have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives take away licenses from gun dealers that don’t follow the law.

This queen of knee pads is INELIGIBLE. The fellating fascist is not a natural born citizen.

she’s also going to mandate that it against the law for banks to be robbed: all of the above are already laws on the books ... apparently Harris is focusing her campaign on appealing to stupid, ignorant voters ...

Well, I know most on this board don’t think her attractive but, I’ve met her and she is good looking

Don’t agree with anything she spouts but, having met Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Boxer, Zoe Lofgren(neighbor of a friend) and on and on and finding them funny and good company but, don’t agree with then either...

Hell, met Joe Biden twice, who taught me how to drink scotch, and don’t agree with his positions either. Funny guy though...

To be fair and honest, in the right context, most people are good company. I'm a people-person and genuinely like and appreciate people as most of us have a lot of good in us!

However, when/if put in a position of power, some are awful, dangerous and destructive... like some you have named.

Most of my old buddies from high school fall into that category. If I were to talk about cars with Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden or even Saddam Hussein; I would probably think, "What a cool dude!"

But we're not talking about cars.

And, of course, Kamala will come to my house to personally try to confiscate my weapons, I hope?!

Met Bill Clinton years ago.

It was at a friends house and a fundraiser for Nancy Pelosi re-election.

He had just had his bypass. Looked gaunt and was hawking his book.

Several people found out I was “The enemy “ and were upset.

I had been invited by friend, who paid my way. They are friends of Nancy.

Anyway, Nancy asked to grab her a beer. I laughed saying “I’ve known you a while and you don’t drink beer”

“Be a dear and grab one for both of us” she replied.

So, I grab these beers and she said a few words to a few people who were within arms length.

She then said it was wonderful to see me again, clinked her bottle to mine and smiling put her bottle to her lips.

Didn’t drink it but, everyone was very friendly for the rest of the day.

I even grabbed a plate of BBQ for her later, that the firemen had prepared.

Good day and she was a good sport.

I have other stories and my favorite is when I went to Arnold Schwarzenegger inauguration.

Some real jerks there and my friends took me to Caroline Kennedy reception.

Funny as hell, she is, as was the other Kennedys.

So, we walked together to the seats, with some of those “Dicks” mouths agape.

It was made more delicious when Caroline had us seated next to her on the 3rd row.

Hilarious, as the Mayor, Chief of Police, Sheriff and past Mayors of our city were seated 12 rows back.

Tom McHenry, former mayor of San Jose was being a punk all day and had to watch me and my friends sitting with the Kennedy’s .

My friend is best friends with Anthony Kennedy, who is a riot

She certainly will! Just ask Willie Brown. She went right straight to his house and took his Browning... or was it a brown willie...

...never mind.

I’ve told these stories for years.

Believe me, I would never drink scotch if it weren’t for Joe Biden.

He had his friend, who owned the local liquor store teach me.

Same friend taught me about wine, which I hated as well.

Now, I’m an alcoholic

Listening to these singers on “The Voice “ tonight really could drive me to drink.

They are picking the wrong songs for their voice, range and style...

Damn your eyes, man. The bitch took a personal interest in ending my aerospace career. Good thing I’ve never been in arm’s reach of the bitch, would not end well. She endangered a whole lot of military people with her f’n stupidity.
