A press release from so-called Everytown for Gun Safety purports to explain what “Freedom from Gun Violence” would look like under a Kamala Harris presidency. What it really does, however, is list numerous reasons why no gun owner should even consider voting for the current vice president on Election Day.
“In the lead up to the Democratic National Convention, Everytown for Gun Safety, along with its grassroots arms Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, will work to ensure voters get the facts about Vice President Harris’ strong record of keeping communities safe from gun violence—and what her presidency would mean for the future of gun safety,” the press release stated.
That’s when it gets weird. Somehow, the organization that is dedicated to doing away with rights and freedoms for America’s gun owners thinks a Trump presidency would infringe upon its freedom.
“At a time when extremists are attacking our rights, it is more important than ever to elect a president who will not only fight to protect our freedoms but also expand them. That person is Kamala Harris,” said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action.
Ironically, the press release then goes on to explain, in great detail, a large number of ways Harris has tried to—and still intends to—infringe upon the actual Constitutional rights of lawful American gun owners.
“Throughout her career, Harris has been a vocal advocate for reinstating a ban on assault weapons, the weapon of choice for mass shooters and extremists,” the release stated. “In the Senate, Harris cosponsored the Disarm Hate Act to prohibit individuals convicted of all violent hate crimes from purchasing and possessing firearms. Harris has also cosponsored Senate legislation to regulate dangerous firearms and accessories, including ghost guns, large-capacity magazines, 3D-printed guns, bump stocks and other devices designed or function to accelerate the rate of fire of semi-automatic weapons. The Biden-Harris Administration implemented life-saving rules to regulate ghost guns and arm-brace-equipped assault weapons.”
Of course, the release also included a number of other “accomplishments” for Harris during her time in public office. It highlighted her championing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which she and President Joe Biden have used to further infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms.
The release also bragged that Harris was tabbed by President Biden to head the White House Office of Violence Prevention. In that effort, however, Harris has accomplished absolutely nothing, and if she loses the November election that office will almost certainly be relegated to the dustbin of history.
The release also highlighted how Harris wants to bankrupt firearms manufacturers with her efforts to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), wants to ban private gun sales by instituting so-called “universal” background checks and wants to see microstamping mandates for gun producers. All, of course, are completely reprehensible.
In the end, the reasons Everytown believes Americans should elect Harris are the exact reasons that Americans shouldn’t even consider voting for her. We appreciate Everytown’s efforts in pointing out just how bad of president she’d be for lawful American gun owners.
Democrats: Look at her great, long history of going after guns!
Also Democrats: Don’t be paranoid, she’s not coming after your guns!!
Or other property, to data…
That cohort is as much a threat to the 4th as the 2nd Amendment – maybe more.

RE: “Everytown Press Release Highlights Kamala’s Gun-Ban Record”
Now let’s release the Highlights of cackle’s Gun Control…
Good article but it’s written in a manner those whom will read this totally wrong will use this against gun owners. What is needed is to DEMONIZE the communist Harris and Allred campaigns and expose them for being the communists they truly are. This includes demonizing the Student and Moms Demand Action snowflake groups, Everytown, and all the other corrupted leftist organizations that should be exposed and dealt with as the true traitors they are.
Most definitely return rifle teams to ALL high schools.
“Most definitely return rifle teams to ALL high schools.”
As a former educator, I might be in favor of this proposal, provided that there was some actual, binding guarantee that said public school(?) rifle team would not be turned into a form of “Hitler Youth” or organization similar to those formed and put into play by Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot or other dictators to re-educate the masses and scare them into complying.
Historically, there WERE rifle teams in most, if not all schools in the US. If you can point to any one of them that were transformed into Hitler Youth, I’ll consider your point.
I’m sure that some clubs were exclusionary, especially in the South, where white shooters wouldn’t want to mix with black shooters. But I think your objection seems pretty silly to me.
Well, maybe not. ‘Trump kids with guns’ has a catchy ring to it, don’t you think?
My dad was on the Kankakee,Ill high school rifle team 100 years ago. He told us he walked to school with his rifle slung over his.
back. My how things have changed. All we had in the 1970’s were race riots😧
“At a time when extremists are attacking our rights…”
Oh goody, a mystery to solve!
Which rights would those be and who are these ‘extremists’ attacking your ‘rights’?
Oh wait ….. anyone who is a gun owner who wants to exercise their, actually written in the Bill of Rights, constitutional First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth Amendment rights, that’s the ‘extremist’ y’all are talking about – those same constitutional rights y’all have. Can you name the people who have attacked these constitutional First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth Amendment rights ya’ll have? Oh wait, there’s this group called ‘Everytown and those tyrants called Biden and Harris – Ok then, mystery solved, now we know who is attacking your ‘rights’.
Okay, so Everytown supports politicians they think 1stsupport the destruction of the Bill Of Rights, how’s this different from the rest of the Democrat support bunch? Basically that bunch subscribes to the Marxonian phrase “from each according to their abilities to each according to their need.”
or the real motto of communism…”come,..let us all be poor together”
Harris Wanted to Use Illegal Registry to Harass Gun Owners and Confiscate Firearms > https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/2024/08/02/harris-wanted-to-use-illegal-registry-to-harass-gun-owners-and-confiscate-firearms/
Interesting approach by Everytown, same approach as recorded in Genesis 3:1 I believe.
Interesting, the Lord said that when they ate of the tree of knowledge they would die. But they did not die, Adam lived another 900 years.
So it wasn’t the serpent that deceived them, but rather the Lord.
And anyway, how could they know that eating of the fruit was wrong as they had not yet learned the difference between good and evil?
And anyway like most stupid people they learned the hard way…nothing personal, well maybe.
They may not have died for hundreds of years physically, but they died spiritually immediately. They were not deceived by God they were self deceived. God clearly stated what they could or couldn’t do, but they decided they knew better, which is always the way of man. Everytown is asking folks to vote against themselves on the promise of a lie.
Good livestock
“Interesting, the Lord said that when they ate of the tree of knowledge they would die. But they did not die, Adam lived another 900 years.”
That’s not true.
Its the “tree of THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL” – not the “tree of knowledge” as you so falsely put it.
“Genesis 2:17 (KJV)
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
You obviously do not understand what you critique, nor the context.
Basically the Lord was not referring to their ‘physical’ death, it was their ‘innocence in not knowing evil’ that would die. God created them as ‘pure spiritual innocence’ beings not tarnished or sullied by the temptation and burdens of evil thus they were pure ‘spiritual innocence beings’ not knowing evil. Once they ate of the “tree of the knowledge of good AND evil” that ‘pure spiritual innocence died’ and thus came to pass “for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
“So it wasn’t the serpent that deceived them, but rather the Lord.
And anyway, how could they know that eating of the fruit was wrong as they had not yet learned the difference between good and evil?”
Nope, it was the serpent. The lord told them exactly what would happen if they did, the serpent tempted them away from the word God by the same deceptive concept you pose now in your deceptive post.
How could they know that eating of the fruit was wrong? They knew it was wrong. God had told them it was wrong for of all in the garden God forbade only one tree from which the fruit was not to be eaten. And the ‘serpent’ lured them away from following that one and only command God gave them with the same type of false logic and slight twists you apply now.
Like 100% of everything you post dealing with religion and scripture, you are once again 100% wrong in your ignorant slanted presentation without context.
Learn what context means Miner49er.
Not ignorance merely subversive and typical of his likely employers.
I think there is probably a millstone somewhere with your name on it..
Miner49er,
Question and forgive me if you have listed this in the past, but what exactly do you (personally) want to see in the way of legislation in relation to firearms?
There’s a very distinct possibility Harris will be installed as President.
If that happens, it will cement the triumph of fascist centralized bureaucratic power over the ideas of individual liberty and personal agency.
We’ve gotten exactly the kind of government the Founders meant to prevent.
cackling harris shifts cadence like a long haul trucker shifts gears…
Even though there is nothing I can think of where I would be in agreement with either Everytown or Harris, I’ve gotta hand it to them: Their supporters and contributors are getting exactly what they’re paying for.
Of course, 4 more years down the road it’s doubtful they’ll be happy. But it seems these morons can’t even remember back before the demented one somehow was declared the winner in 2020. Haven’t they even looked into their wallets or they all living entirely off of government relief?
As far as crime and civil order, it’s far worse now with Biden/Harris minions in charge than Trump, obama, W2, Clinton, or any other predecessor. Of course, even under obama’s years (prior to running Biden’s term), people were still charged, and sometimes even convicted of stealing, assaulting and murdering- even in NYC, LA, Chicago, San Fran and the like.
Just another group of leftists trying to gin up a record of accomplishments for someone who has accomplished nothing in either her career or life.
Pretty sad when the only thing Harris has ever actually done is mouth the words and repeat the narrative while her only tangible result was to make Willy Brown happy in bed.
Kamala, “I Used Lists Of Gun Owners & Sent Police To Their Door To Take Their Guns”
buy all you can, anyway you can and hide them everywhere you can…simply don’t allow yourself to be disarmed…
