Was a pretty good speech, if you get a chance to listen to it.
Vice President Kamala Harris called for an "assault weapons" ban and an end to the "liability shield" for gun manufacturers in a Tuesday evening speech to a teachers union. Speaking in Chicago, just miles from where the July Fourth Highland Park shooting took place, Harris drew loud cheers for calling on Congress to ban such guns, "assault weapons" meaning semi-automatic rifles, as they did in 1994. [...] "Let’s talk about what an assault weapon is assigned to do. An assault weapon is designed to kill a lot of human beings quickly," Harris said, again drawing cheers. "There is no reason that we have weapons of war on the streets of America. We need reasonable gun safety laws. And we need to have Congress stop protecting those gun manufacturers with the liability shield. Repeal it! Repeal it! So we cannot be deterred." [...] "I don’t need to tell NEA [National Education Association]: We need to end this horror, we need to stop this violence," she said, "and we must protect our communities from the terror of gun violence. You know, I've said it before: Enough is enough."
The VP Harris video clip is here. To the cheers of the Teachers in the audience.
If those who profit from flooding our streets with the Weapons of War — also had to shoulder the financial burden those weapons wreak in the homes across America, those sales would come to a halt in VERY short order.
It’s time to hit them were it hurts, in their blood-soaked profit margins. Awarded by a jury of their peers. To the cheers and the tears of their victims, from every corner of America ...

Hodge Defense All of these companies produce some of the finest [fiercest] AR-15s ever made. Many of them hold major government contracts either with special forces units in the USA or overseas and some of them provide the front line rifles for entire nations. [...]
Their corporate callousness must be punctured, and made to feel our pain. In their bloated, legal-insulated Bank Accounts. Enough with the blood money protections!
Get these damn Weapons of War off our streets !!!
