And like with Trump when he oversteps his power there will be lawsuits and injunctions if Harris tries this. Any dumbass who cheared Trump for his EO to build a wall has only themselves to blame when whatever Demcratic president does the same to guns or the environment

Not that I'm defending it, but an EO to fund a wall is a very different thing than an EO to put limits on a constitutional right.
I’m not real interested and this is wrong forum for the debate, but I think it’s possible to make the argument having a president bypass congress, who has denied him funding, is as much a constitutional issue as one involving gun control
"...the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
So Kamala Harris is proposing to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms 100 days after her inauguration?
That doesn't make a lick of sense (to me).
She would immediately be impeached.

Limiting guns is not "infringing." To infringe is to break, the word you're thinking of is "abridge." The First Amendment rights are not to be abridged, the Second is not to ve infringed. See the difference?
By the way, those words are exactly the wording of each Amedment. It should tell you something that the same word is not used.
Infringe means far more than that.BTW under the tenth amendment, the federal government really has no proper power in this area. I don't think anyone really believes the founders intended the commerce clause as a gun control empowerment vehicle for the federal government.
Probably not, but the founders also didn't intend blacks to vote. Or women, or most white men actually. So I automatically discount "original intent."
That said, I don't think the commerce clause really applies
There is NOTHING there which even so much as hints as violation of the second amendment (with the only potential exception being domestic abusers).Harris said:At a town hall hosted by CNN, Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more strident regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
I'm the 15th post in this thread and I have yet to see evidence of ANYONE actually reading what Harris really said. How not surprising:

As usual, it is nothing but lies and fear mongering by gun supporters who do not care about facts, just frothing at the mouth.
Strange that you apparently don't even read the titles to the threads you post in...Strange that you would tell us exactly how many posts there are in this thread, but then fail to mention that only one of them (and not the OP) even remotely hinted at the idea that what Harris proposes to do is a violation of the 2nd Amendment.
Strange that you apparently don't even read the titles to the threads you post in...
:lamo :lamo :lamoStrange that the words "2nd Amendment" don't appear anywhere in the title, and the Constitution consists of far more than just the 2nd Amendment, including all those parts telling us what the various branches of government have the power to do.

We're in the Gun Control forum! What the hell do you think this thread is about?
Wow, I've said this several times already this week, but your post has now risen to the stupidest post I have read all week.
You right now: "Hey guys, I know we're in the Gun Control forum and the thread title says Harris is going to violate the Constitution and when you read the title of the article it says 'Gun control via executive order?', but we have absolutely no way of knowing that this thread is about the 2nd Amendment".
:lamo :lamo
Thank you, that laugh was very much enjoyed this morning. Please feel free to keep me entertained by posting more and digging your hole deeper and deeper.
There's nothing in there whatsoever about Harris violating the constitution.
Trump is setting the precedents, did you expect future candidates to not follow-up?
