Kamala Harris Pushes Gun Control That Wouldn\u2019t Have Prevented Jacksonville Shooting<\/a><\/p>\n

Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to Saturday\u2019s shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, by pushing gun control that would not have prevented the attack.<\/p>\n

Harris released a statement Sunday noting the shooting was racially motivated and will be investigated \u201cas a possible hate crime and act of domestic violent extremism.\u201d<\/p>\n

She closed her statement by saying, \u201cEvery person in every community in America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. And Congress must help secure that freedom by banning assault weapons and passing other commonsense gun safety legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters pointed out the shooter was armed with two guns, a Glock pistol and an AR-15 style rifle. If the rifle had been denied him, he would still have had the pistol and the attack would not be hindered.<\/p>\n

Additionally, universal background checks constitute another piece of \u201ccommonsense gun safety legislation\u201d that Democrats are pushing. But the Jacksonville shooter bought his guns \u201clegally,\u201d which indicates he passed background checks for them at retail.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Florida has a red flag law, which is often pushed by Democrats as a way to prevent shootings. But the Washington Post noted Waters saying, \u201cThere was no criminal arrest history. There is nothing we could have done to stop [the shooting suspect] from owning a rifle or a handgun. There were no red flags.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
