This week, we got some newly-unearthed comments on gun policy from Kamala Harris. They shed new light on what she thought about gun bans and school security while she was working as San Francisco’s District Attorney.
The first clip comes from a 2006 speech where Harris said she didn’t think the handgun ban she’d supported would actually survive court scrutiny. Interestingly, she thought the Second Amendment would doom it. The second clip comes from a 2010 speech to the same group and shows her calling for more school resource officers and metal detectors to protect students. Harris has not always held these positions, so it’s interesting to hear her thinking from her early career and see how it has changed over time and consider how that might impact the election.
