A prominent gun-rights organization is calling out Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat “nominee” for president, on her 2019 advocacy of removing school resource officers from schools in light of such resource officers stopping and arresting the alleged murderer at a Georgia high school earlier this week.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCKRBA) noted in a news item on its website that Harris, during her failed presidential campaign, described her idea of removing resource officers from schools as an effort to “demilitarize” school campuses.
“The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is congratulating the officers involved in arresting the 14-year-old accused killer, and reminding Vice President Harris that, if she had her way five years ago, Wednesday’s rampage might have been much worse,” the story stated.
The 14-year-old alleged killer at Apalachee High School murdered two teachers and two students, along with wounding nine others. But school resource officers stopped him before he could cause any more carnage.
Alan Gottlieb, CCRKBA chairman, said that, as usual, Harris was on the wrong side of an important issue when calling for removal of resources officers.
“Once again, a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun, demonstrating how wrong Kamala Harris was about the importance of armed school resource officers, who literally saved lives in Georgia,” Gottlieb said. “It’s just one of many things, especially relating to firearms and crime intervention, she’s been wrong about during her political career.”
Of course, after the shooting Harris made no mention of her earlier advocacy for removing school resource officers. Instead, she, President Joe Biden and other gun-ban advocates called for more restrictions on private firearms ownership.
For Biden’s part, he used the tragedy to push many of the same restrictions he has been seeking his entire term in office. He even pulled out his worn out adage about “deer wearing Kevlar vests,” which we hoped he had finally understood is ridiculous after saying it in public so many times in the past.
“My dad is a hunter. I don’t know a whole hell of a lot of deer wearing Kevlar vests,” Biden said. “I’m serious about this. High-capacity magazines, once again. What do we need them for in terms of domestic use?”
As for Harris, she’s fully onboard with more gun-ban schemes than likely any presidential candidate in history, including, according to Gottlieb, “compensated confiscation” of AR-style rifles.
“Kamala Harris was wrong about removing armed school resource officers,” Gottlieb concluded. “It’s time for the media to end its love fest with the vice president and start looking at what else she’s been wrong about.”
