Kamala Harris On Gun-Control Network CNN: If Congress Doesn't Restrict Gun Sales, I'll Restrict Them Via Executive Order

And that's not all she said.

Sen. Kamala Harris on Monday night pledged that, if elected president, she will sign a series of executive orders on gun control if Congress fails to pass comprehensive legislation in her first 100 days in the Oval Office.

During a town hall hosted by CNN, Harris said that if a bill from Congress did not make it to her desk, she would unilaterally mandate background checks for customers purchasing a firearm from any dealer who sells more than five guns a year.

Dealers who violate the law, she said, would have their licenses revoked. The other executive orders would prohibit fugitives from purchasing a firearm or weapon, as well as close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase a firearm if their victim is an unwedded partner.

She tries to avoid a direct answer as to whether terrorists like the Boston Bomber should be permitted to vote vote Democrat (and you know, they'll all vote Democrat), but just sounds cowardly, indecisive, and dishonest in her evasions.

She sounds a lot like someone who knows her party's base is very pro-terrorist, but she worries about declaring her own pro-terrorist sympathies so baldly.

"We should have a conversation about that" is the Democrat way of saying "I don't want to have a conversation about that at all, so I'll just say that at some time in the vague future we could, maybe, have a conversation about that."

Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, is all-in on letting the Boston Bomber vote.

The pod-addled authoritarian Kamala Harris, who imprisons drug users who using herself, also announced that anyone who likes the private insurance they pay for is just a shill for the insurance industry.

After reiterating her support for socializing the health insurance system under the banner of "Medicare for all," and stating that she believed healthcare was a right, Harris said, "On this issue of this whole dynamic about access to private insurance -- of course private insurance, you can get supplemental insurance and all of that, but let's not be duped by a messaging campaign that has been waged for years by the insurance companies to have you into believing that you need to defend them."

Effectively, she's arguing that if people like their coverage, they're just being suckered by insurance companies. She knows better.
