Kamala Harris calls for ‘assault weapon’ ban, Massie warns: ‘This is all she can say out loud for now’

August 26, 2024 | | Print Article

Vice President Kamala Harris may not be openly talking about banning gun ownership but that doesn’t mean it is not on the Democrat agenda.

This is according to Rep. Thomas Massie who responded to a graphic posted by the VP’s official page on X declaring: “Ban Assault Weapons.”

“Congress must renew the assault weapons ban,” Harris’s post was captioned.

“This is all she can say out loud for now,” Massie wrote on X in response early Monday.

“What you need to understand is her handlers who pulled the coup on Biden want to ban civilian ownership of all guns,” the Kentucky Republican added, referring to the Democrat pressure campaign on President Joe Biden before he ended his presidential re-election campaign.

“Disarming the general public is necessary to their goal of suppressing all other individual liberties,” the congressman said.

The topic of gun control was certainly front and center during last week’s Democratic National Convention in gun-free Chicago. Though the phrase “gun control” was never directly used, a bevy of speakers including Rep. Lucy McBath, Gabby Giffords and husband Sen. Mark Kelly and others pushed their anti-gun ownership narrative.

Harris took the stage to tout her experience as a prosecutor while never putting forth any policies to back the endless emotional storytelling that preceded her speech. Her speech included no references to her anti-Second Amendment stances, her support for banning “assault weapons” or her past backing of mandatory gun “buyback” programs.

She concluded her DNC speech with a comment about how “the freedom to live safe from gun violence in our schools, communities, and places of worship” is one of the “fundamental freedoms at stake in this election.”

Massie’s post reminded social media users of the dangers of a potential Harris presidency and the threats to Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
