2007 Kamala Comment Resurfaces

Kamala Harris strikes again! Let’s take a trip back to 2007, when she was San Francisco’s district attorney, and imagine this: she actually told legal gun owners—law-abiding citizens, mind you—that authorities could stroll right into their homes to inspect whether they were storing their firearms “properly.” That’s right. You, being a responsible gun owner, would have to sit tight while some government bureaucrat snoops around your house to make sure you’re following Harris’s version of “values.” And why? Because apparently, owning a gun legally doesn’t mean you get to exercise your rights in peace anymore.

Harris wasn’t just satisfied with this invasive plan; she helped draft the legislation that imposed penalties on gun owners who didn’t store their firearms the way she and her friends in government thought was “safe.” And who was waiting in the wings to rubber stamp it? None other than Gavin Newsom, San Francisco’s then-mayor, who proudly proclaimed that the city now had “the strictest anti-gun laws in the county.” What a badge of honor, right? Never mind the Second Amendment; in Harris and Newsom’s San Francisco, legal gun owners are the bad guys, and your right to defend yourself takes a backseat to their “legislated values.”

But that’s not all. The law bundled other anti-gun provisions, like making gun distributors submit inventories to the police twice a year and banning legal guns from public housing. Yep, you heard that right. Even if you followed all the rules, paid all your dues, and were living in public housing, sorry—no guns for you. It’s almost like they were doing everything possible to disarm the very people who might need protection the most.

Let’s fast-forward to today, where Harris is trying to convince us she’s this moderate, Second Amendment-loving politician, even claiming she’s a gun owner. Give me a break. She might be carrying a firearm, but it’s clear she has no problem pushing for laws that make it harder for the average American to exercise their rights. Just look at her track record. She’s gone toe-to-toe with the NRA more times than we can count, and when she was running for president in 2019, she didn’t just support gun control—she backed mandatory gun buybacks! Now, that’s just a fancy way of saying, “We’re coming for your guns.”

And remember that gem during the presidential debate? She dodged questions about mandatory gun buybacks until former President Donald Trump called her out. “A plan to confiscate everybody’s guns?” Trump pressed. Harris danced around the question, but her history speaks for itself. She’s all in favor of stripping away the Second Amendment rights of everyday Americans, all while pretending to be reasonable.

What’s hilarious is Harris’s camp now trying to paint her as some kind of defender of the Constitution. Her spokesperson even claimed that she’d “uphold and defend the law and rights of Americans, including the Second Amendment.” That’s rich, considering how she’s spent her entire career trying to dismantle those very rights. And don’t even get me started on her attacks against the NRA. She’s made a career of villainizing them, and anyone who supports the right to bear arms.

Meanwhile, the courts have been a battleground. In 2009, the NRA challenged San Francisco’s law banning guns in public housing, and they won! But thanks to Harris and her allies, the fight didn’t stop there. Her prized safe-storage law survived multiple legal challenges, even with some Republican-appointed judges siding with her! One 9th Circuit judge even argued that the law “serves a significant government interest” by reducing gun-related injuries. Sure, because criminals definitely store their guns safely when planning their next crime spree, right?

The bottom line? Kamala Harris may talk a good game about protecting the rights of gun owners, but her actions speak louder than words. Her real agenda is all about more government control, fewer personal freedoms, and turning law-abiding gun owners into criminals. Whether it’s back in 2007 or today, Harris’s “values” haven’t changed—they’re just being packaged a little differently for the election season.
