Sen. Kamala Harris says if she is elected President, she will give Congress 100 days 'to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action' HarrisTownHall
"Enough," says the fact sheet outlining the proposals that the campaign plans to unveil publicly tomorrow."We're not waiting any longer."The pledge by Harris to act unilaterally by executive action sharpens her repeated calls on the campaign trail, blasting Congress for failing to act on gun violence, especially mass shootings.
It would also fine gun corporations up to $500,000 for each violation, using that money for community-based violence intervention programs and mental health treatment. Currently, a 2005 law called the Protection of Commerce in Arms Act shields the gun industry from liability when third parties use weapons for criminal purposes, but not from the federal government, argues Harris.
