The Spin
Democratic narrative
Kamala Harris has the right approach to guns. Not only would she push for a popular assault weapons ban, but she'd also invest billions in school safety and mental health programs. She envisions a future where students will no longer need post-traumatic stress counseling after weapons of war are removed from the streets and gun purchase loopholes are closed. High-powered guns threaten all American children, and Harris brings a sensible and popular approach to this issue.
Republican narrative
Democrats and liberal elites continue preaching about gun bans from behind their heavily armed bodyguards and fortified estates. If they truly cared about protecting children from dangerous criminals, they wouldn't support policies that release offenders back onto the streets. Republicans seek to enforce existing gun laws, strengthen criminal justice systems, and not violate constitutional Second Amendment rights. Donald Trump will ensure that these rights are preserved.
