Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., outlined more of her plans to combat gun violence during a campaign event in Nashua, N.H., on Wednesday.
Reiterating her past promise on taking executive action on guns if Congress fails to pass more gun control bills within 100 days, Harris said because "assault weapons are designed to kill a lot of people in a very short period of time," she will issue an executive order to ban the importation of military-style rifles. |

Pure political posturing. Even if one accepts the argument that the executive branch as the authority to ban the import of products, by far the most popular "assault weapons" are designed and manufactured in the United States.
Therefore, this gambit is a spurious attempt to appear to her base that she is "doing something about gun violence".

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
