In her first campaign speech since President Joe Biden abandoned his pursuit of reelection, presumptive Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris pushed an “assault weapons” ban and other gun controls Biden has pushed for years.

Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harris said, “Every person in our nation should have the freedom to live safe from the terror of gun violence.”

She promised, “We’ll finally pass red flag laws, universal background checks, and an ‘assault weapons’ ban.”

Joe Biden has long pushed for a ban on certain firearms. In the lead-up to the 2020 election he began pushing for a ban on AR-15s and other guns that Democrats label “assault weapons.” On August 12, 2019, MSNBC noted that Biden expressed his commitment to ban “assault weapons” and made clear his belief that the Second Amendment is not “absolute.”

Since that time, throughout his first three years in office, Biden has pushed an “assault weapons” ban at every opportunity.

Most recently, after the failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump, Biden pushed to “outlaw” AR-15s and similar firearms.

It appears Harris is picking up exactly where Biden left off.
