Harris bashed Republicans for presenting a 'false choice' that gun control laws would strip Americans of their 2nd Amendment right to bear arms


Kamala Harris said Wednesday President Joe Biden is hesitant to take executive action on gun control because the White House wants Congress to unite and act in a more 'permanent' capacity after two mass shootings rocked the nation in the matter of a week.

She also insisted Republicans are presenting some sort of ‘false choice’ that any legislative action on firearms would strip Americans of their 2nd Amendment rights.

The vice president said the White House prefers if Congress would act in a more 'permanent' capacity after two mass shootings rocked the nation in the matter of a week.....


He also encouraged lawmakers to act, saying: 'This should not be a partisan issue. It's an American issue. It will save lives. American lives. We have to act.'

The president told senators that they should pass two gun control bills, one bolstering background check loopholes for gun buyers, which already passed the House earlier this month.

Asked during his trip to Columbus, Ohio if he had the political capital to get something done, Biden replied, 'I hope so. I don't know. I haven't done any counting yet.'

'We need to take action,' Harris said in her Wednesday interview. 'Let's be clear about this – there is the piece about executive action, but if we pass legislation, it's permanent. If we – if the Congress acts, then it becomes law. And that is what we have lacked. That is what has been missing.'
