Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday that “it is time for Congress to act” on gun control, but that action doesn’t mean Democrats want to “come after” Americans’ guns.
“It is time for Congress to act and stop with the false choices,” she said on “CBS This Morning,” reacting to two recent high-profile mass shootings. “This is not about getting rid of the Second Amendment. It’s simply about saying, ‘We need reasonable gun safety laws.’ There is no reason why we have assault weapons on the streets of a civil society. They are weapons of war. They are designed to kill a lot of people quickly.”
