The theater we’re seeing from Harris and Walz this month is no different. It’s cosplay, and it’s insulting that they believe supporters of the constitutional right to self-defense will fall for it.
Harris supports universal background checks, banning assault weapons, and controls on the sale of firearms. She has tried to position herself as a moderate, pointing out that both she and her running mate Tim Walz own firearms.
Giffords is only the latest example and the breathless hyperbole and hypocrisy coming out of their press releases and campaign emails makes it abundantly clear. They are hypocrites.
Since the lawmakers couldn’t make an end-run around the Court, their plan now is to “reimagine” it, not as a co-equal branch of government but one that’s subservient to the legislative branch’s whims.
The Giffords ad blitz supports the vice president and House candidates in battleground districts who favor tougher gun laws, echoes Harris’ strategy in talking about guns on the trail.
As people like Kunce and Kinzinger love to tell the rest of their fellow Americans, people in law enforcement and the military are uniquely qualified to own and use firearms.
The problem is that exercising one’s right to armed self-defense against threats to life, liberty, and property isn’t a joke. It’s the whole point of the right to keep and bear arms.
Walz wasted no time before answering, “Well, I can shoot better than all of them. I got the trophies to prove it.” Once the laughter died down, the politician further explained his history with guns.
Tim Walz obviously knows his way around a pheasant hunt. Now the famed gun guy is going to try his hand at ducks.
The executive order imposed firearm restrictions including temporary bans on firearms in public parks and playgrounds in Bernalillo County, expanded firearm sales oversights and added public school wastewater testing for fentanyl.
