anyone want to bet on an influx of mail in votes at midnight in november:

One of the most notably absent topics of this year’s election fracas has been any discussion on firearms. Then enter Kamala Harris.

The moderators in the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden didn’t ask a single question touching on the divisive topic, nor did either candidate bring it up. Observers noted during the Republican National Convention that the party platform in other than a passing reference didn’t even mention guns. None of the speeches delivered during the four-day event did either short of vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance talking about how his grandmother once had 19 firearms hidden around her house, a humorous story likely meant to convey to the audience, “we love guns” without actually coming out and saying “we love guns.” But in her first speech as the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee following Joe Biden’s endorsement of her after he exited the race, Harris was quick to trot the topic into the spotlight. And gunowners got a few of what they already knew, Harris is going to be no friend to the Second Amendment.

“That’s why we will work to pass universal background checks, Red Flag laws and an assault weapons ban,” Harris told staffers at campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, and streamed on YouTube. Her statements support a continuation of the current administration’s efforts at combatting gun violence by restricting overall gun ownership and a continuation of her own views that she expressed in the 2020 campaign when she was seeking to defeat Biden for the party nomination.

“Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress a hundred days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws,” Harris told the audience during a 2019 CNN town hall. “If they fail to do it, then I will take executive action.”.........more.......
