BELLEVUE, WA â A new 15-second message from the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) warning social media users of Vice President Kamala Harrisâ extremist positions on guns utilizes film clips of her announcing her intentions in her campaign for the presidency.
The short message shows the Second Amendment being blacked out from the Bill of Rights while audio of Harrisâ statements are heard in the background. Interspersed with the artwork are actual film clips of the vice president making the controversial remarks during what appear to be campaign speeches.
âWe are finally going to pass universal background checks,â says Harris as the message begins, followed by another remark a few seconds later in which she calls for a ban on so-called âassault weapons.â
Banning an entire class of firearms has been a goal of the Biden-Harris administration for the past four years, and the recently-published Democrat Party Platform declares, âDemocrats will establish universal background checks. We will once again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. We will require safe storage for guns. Democrats will end the gun industryâs immunity from liability, so gunmakers can no longer escape accountability. We will pass a national red flag law to prevent tragedies by keeping weapons out of dangerous hands. We will increase funding to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) for enforcement and prosecution, and to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for firearm background checks.â
âWeâre not telling people to vote against Kamala Harris,â said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. âWeâre not even telling people to vote. Weâve simply captured the vice presidentâs remarks and made them the core of an informational message weâre sharing with our members and supporters via social media, on Facebook, âXâ and Truth Social.â
The message is running on a YouTube format, and warns viewers, âKamala Harris will take your guns,â based on remarks she made back in 2019 advocating for âmandatory buybackâ of semiautomatic firearms, which Gottlieb considers âcompensated confiscation.â
