Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to New York Saturday to attend the funeral of a victim of the May 14 Buffalo shooting where she continued the shameless politicization of recent tragedies and contended she knows what’s best “in a civil society.”
Ruth Whitfield, 86, was one of the victims at a Tops Friendly Markets store where an 18-year-old suspect was charged with her murder and the murder of nine other victims. Ten days later, in Uvalde, TX, a different 18-year-old suspect committed a massacre of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School and it was the bodies of those dead that Harris stood upon when she declared, “Enough is enough.”
“There’s a through line. What happened here in Buffalo, in Texas, in Atlanta, in Orlando, what happened at the synagogues,” the vice president said as she addressed the attendees at Mt. Olive Baptist Church at the behest, according to the White House, of Rev. Al Sharpton.

“And so this is a moment that requires all good people, all God loving people,” she continued, “to stand up and say we will not stand for this. Enough is enough.”
Harris went further on the tarmac standing beside Air Force Two when she stated now was the time for an assault weapons ban. “We are not sitting around waiting to figure out what the solution looks like,” she said. “You know, we’re not looking for a vaccine. We know what works on this. It includes – let’s have an assault weapons ban.”
“You know what an assault weapon is? You know how an assault weapon was designed?” the vice president asked of the made-up classification before not providing an actual definition. “It was designed for a specific purpose – to kill a lot of human beings quickly. An assault weapon is a weapon of war with no place, no place, in a civil society.”
As she lamented the increased number of mass shooting, which is another qualifier that has frequently been redefined, she failed to acknowledge that prior to the initial assault weapons ban of 1994, shooting were already on a steady decline and, according to a Pew Research Center study, they remained on the decline following the expiration of the ban.
She further expressed a lack of comprehension on the topic with a push for background checks, which are already required, “Background checks. Why should anyone be able to buy a weapon that can kill other human beings without at least knowing, hey, has that person committed a violent crime before are they a threat against themselves or others. That’s just reasonable.”
Of course, following the vice president’s logic it would be necessary to have background checks to purchase wide swaths of normal household items like knives and hammers which may also be used as “a weapon that can kill other human beings.”
However, it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that’s what she’s after, as her constant push for greater federal powers was laced with socialist undertone limiting the individual identity as less critical than the broader national identity.
“We have to agree that if we are to be strong as a nation, we must stand strong identifying our diversity as our unity. And anyone who is trying to break that down is hurting us a country and as individuals who should identify as one, as a country, as Americans,” Harris said.

Weapon of war? I think you mean you are the weapon against the Constitution and you and all tour ilk has to be banned.
None of these mass murders were committed with a military weapon. Harris, like so many on left, is ignorant of guns and has no authority to speak about them. The AR-15 is NOT a “weapon of War”. It was made for target shooting and hunting small game. A soldier would laugh at her equating it with the large caliber automatic weapons which actually are weapons of war.
Uhmm, camal?
I don’t know if you’re aware of the fact that you and your ilk have declared war against America and Americans, which means we should possess actual military firearms. You know, like your illegals have? Thanks
Assault Weapon: Any select-fire firearm that allows semi-automatic and fully automatic operation, and is used or was once used by a military organization.
Well, that settles that once and for all. Those weapons have already been banned for a very long time unless one holds an FFL or a tax-stamp issued by the NFA after a very extensive FBI background check along with registration of the weapon.
“And so this is a moment that requires all good people, all God loving people,” she continued, “to stand up and say we will not stand for this. Enough is enough.”
I couldn’t agree more!! Let’s throw Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, Sanders, and every other treasonous actor into prison for life if a military tribunal doesn’t call for their executions and let’s right this ship before it’s run so far aground that the nearest body of water is 200 miles away.
Mrs. Harris, which weapon of war are you referring to? Propaganda??
Ask her to define what an assault weapon is. I bet you she can’t. If you’re expecting politicians to try and fix and issue they why do they not know the real cause? You can’t know the real cause 5 sec after the shooting and say you have the answer. The politicians do it to make themselves look good. They scream, shout, and throw out suggested laws that they know will get struck down. But then they say they tried and still look good, but the problem is not solved. The solution requires real work, which they won’t do.
Mental health is a huge part of the issue. When I grew up we were taught gun safety in school, many older kids drove vehicles with gun racks. We never thought for a second to take those guns and kill anyone. Especially innocent people. It’s a heart and mind issue.
People don’t value life any more. Why would they when you think it’s okay to kill the most innocent among us? Meanwhile it gets worse until people learn the real issue instead of chasing quick fix fantasies.
Why not get on these video game manufacturers that put out these “games” that have kids shooting and killing everyone in site. Maybe if shooting, killing, and murder wasn’t made to be fun and entertaining these mass murders might end.
Okay, call it a “weapon of war” if you want. So when our government comes to take my freedom away there will be “war” and I will be prepared.
yeah ban civilian arms while keeping armed security at your disposal , hooker harris has got to be the most ignorant , misguided idiot next in line with her master FJB , it’s ok for this crooked WH administration to have guns but again, none for law abiding citizens ??? what happened was a recurring tragedy & now schools unfortunately need armed security as society is failing daily due to the media , internet & immoral lifestyles push to the front bend young minds to do deadly damage
the military and LEO are the only ones with assault weapons. What will they use to protect us if you ban them?
I would like Concubine Harris to explain how one bans something that does not exist. We all know she slept her way to the top, but her failures and stupidity are legendary. After she explains how one bans “assault weapons” which do not exist, maybe she could tell us all how she plans to stop all those illegal aliens at the southern border from coming into our country . FJB

Sure glad our border czar is so concerned about people killed with a rifle, but can’t be bothered to go to the border and see how the Biden regime’s open policy is allowing hundreds of thousands to be killed by fentanyl. Kamala, you and Joey own this.
The only time she can speak with full sentences, is the same as all Democrats that have been over and over the agenda to disarm the US. Seen enough of the weird faces and speaking mishaps to know which agendas they feel they have down to a tee. This one never changes. No protections from government being disarmed, let along cartels and thugs. Globalist only care about their protection and armament from the people they deem useless.
Democrats will use every means to destroy the 2nd amendment and make gun and ammo manufacturers unable to do business- with never ending lawsuits, taxes on guns and ammo, restrictions on ammo purchases-you name it. Ammo is becoming more more unaffordable and hard to get. Democrats hope to bankrupt the gun industry
“Weapon of war”….also known as a rifle. Big scary words to terrify the pea brained….I’m impressed Harris could say them without giggling.
Never has doesn’t now never will ever have a clue to what the hell this cackling hen is talking about!!!!
in school during history clas our childern should have be taught about the political party called the do nothings,today we call this party the democrats
Lying, Cackling Kamala, possibly the dumbest politician ever.
It’s a toss up between her and uncle Joe.
And AOC.
Kamala Harris shouldn’t comment on anything. After viewing her idiocy in Poland she would better off and so would we if she spent the next 3 yrs. In a broom closet wtiting her memoirs. “How I Pretended to be Vice President. And by the way an AR 15 is not a weapon of war. AR stands for Armalite a company name, not assault rifle like most left wing kooks like to spew.” And a further point of significance you and the president should stop trying to create a civil war. Oh right you want take guns because of criminals and crime. How about you are both on the way to becoming Constitutional criminals.
Heels you are still an IDIOT. Weapons of war banned….let’s think about that a moment. If our colonist hadn’t had “weapons of war” we would all be subjects of the Queen…for those of you that don’t know – England. Ukraine would be in a world of hurt if their citizens hadn’t had “weapons of war”. If we did not have “weapons of war”, your like would have already overtaken over the country.
It is not the “weapons of war” that need to be taken away, but the lack of parenting, the lack of teaching right from wrong, and the lack of going to church ever now and then need to be removed. This along with allowing law enforcement to do their job, judges that hand down stiff punishments and make it stick, and making criminals not want to be criminals instead of glorifying the idea. The woke crowd is doing their dead level best to destroy everything in this country!
Horizontal Harris talks about “assault weapons” as if she really knew what she was talking about. The phrase “assault weapon” goes back to Adolf Hitler trying to make his troops sound more fierce. People now use that term because it sounds evil and they want to disguise their true intent, to disarm our country, similar to other tyrannies Cuba, Iran, China, N. Korea, etc. !!
You know what really works? Getting rid of all the Communists in government, education, and the media and start putting the idiots in jail when we see the fitsr signs of this kind of behavior! Of course, Camel Nose knows all about that as she railroaded hundreds of innocent people off to jail in Californication!
Ten years after Sandy Hook most schools are still “soft” targets. Why? I hate to say it, but it seems that the Democrats invite the tragedies to further their goal of gun confiscation and Chuck Schumer just proved it. Yesterday, he refused to advance a bi-partisan bill that would have outlined the “Best Practices” that have been identified (ten years ago) to implement in all schools that would prevent these needless killings; such as one controlled access point only, armed Resource Officers, or allow (not mandate) teachers who are trained to have concealed carry. Any one of the measures would have prevented the tragedy at Uvalde, in fact, they have prevented three mass casualty events since 2018 in schools that have implemented some or all of these “Best Practices”. Tell everyone. It is disgusting and abhorrent and evil that the Democrats refuse such simple solutions in favor of advancing their anti-constitutional ideology.
I have mentioned this once before. I believe the democrapers have been setting up all of these school shootings to further their agenda. To take our guns away for total control and rule over the American people.
They couldn’t care less about human life of any age.
Let’s first remove all firearms from you Secret Service detail. Then we can talk.
Democrats can take away our right to own these “weapons of war” as soon as democrats agree to remove them from their own government hands and prove to We The People that the democrat party is not a threat to our lives and well being.
Problem is that you never know when another threat to our lives and well being will rise up to replace them.
Australia, Venezuela and Canada are perfect examples.
That is exactly why the 2nd amendment was written. To fight back a tyrannical government.
