Republicans Pounce After Kamala Harris Calls for “Assault Weapons” Ban of “Weapons of War” After Unarmed Israelis Massacred by Hamas

A little over a week after Hamas massacred over 1,400 unarmed Israeli civilians (also police and soldiers), Kamala Harris posted a call for an “assault weapons” ban, saying, “Weapons of war have no place on the streets of a civil society. We need an assault weapons ban. Congress, send it to @JoeBiden’s desk.”
