Resurfaced footage from 2007 shows Kamala Harris, then San Francisco District Attorney, suggesting authorities could enter legally owned gun owners' homes to enforce safety rules, sparking renewed debate over gun control and constitutional rights.
In newly resurfaced footage from a May 2007 press conference, then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris made controversial remarks about gun control that are stirring debate. In support of gun storage requirements, Harris appeared to suggest that legal gun ownership would not prevent authorities from entering homes to enforce safety regulations.
“Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe,” Harris stated, as quoted by FOX News. She further emphasized that the real threat came from guns owned by individuals who might not live in high-violence areas but could inadvertently contribute to community destruction by allowing firearms to fall into the wrong hands.
The video was highlighted on *Tucker Carlson Tonight*, where Carlson questioned the constitutional implications of Harris's comments, noting the tension between her stance and the protections guaranteed by the Second and Fourth Amendments.
Harris’s remarks have reignited concerns among gun rights advocates, especially given her current role as the Democrat presidential nominee. The resurfaced video is likely to fuel ongoing debates over gun control, government overreach, and civil liberties.
