Kamala Harris is billing this year's election as a “fight for our freedoms.” Yet, in her speech to the American Federation of Teachers on Thursday, Bearing Arms reports that she took a shot at our freedom to keep and bear arms:
Addressing the AFT (not to be confused with the ATF, as Joe Biden has done repeatedly), Harris once again declared her intention to ban sermi-automatic rifles and criticized laws in place in more than half the country that allow for armed school staff to serve as a line of defense in case of a targeted attack on campus.
In her remarks, Harris praised unions as the cornerstone of the middle class in America while criticizing Republicans on gun control and public education.
“They have the nerve to tell teachers to strap on a gun in the classroom while they refuse to pass commonsense gun safety laws,” Harris said, adding, “we want to ban assault weapons, and they want to ban books.”
There's not a single state in the Union that requires teachers to serve as an armed guardian or to carry a gun. No one is telling teachers to “strap on a gun.” These policies give educators and staff members the option to do so after being vetted and trained. And as we've repeatedly pointed out here at Bearing Arms, research shows that the quickest way to end an active shooting incident on a school campus is to have both a school resource officer and several armed staff members in place.
I'd say there's also a significant difference between conservative efforts to remove sexually explicit books from school libraries and wanting to put people in federal prison if they don't “voluntarily” hand over their semi-automatic rifles to the feds.
The Associated Press could have easily provided a fact-check on Harris's claims, but that would mean covering her campaign critically, or at least with neutrality. The AP can't even admit that Harris, in her role as vice-president, had a first-hand view of Joe Biden's decline.

As a show of good faith on her part and Gun Disarmament, she should disarm her Secret Service Personnel.
Another Marxist sock puppet!
