In a Second Amendment bombshell of a story, Fox News on Wednesday reported that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee for president, once said that law enforcement officers could walk into private citizens’ homes and inspect how they were storing their firearms.

In May 2007, Harris, then San Francisco district attorney, told a group of reporters that the safe storage law being considered by the city’s board of supervisors at the time allowed such an invasion of privacy.

“We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and 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 in the way you conduct your affairs,” Harris said.

According to Fox, Harris also said the new measure was about legislating “our values” in an attempt to “encourage certain kinds of behavior.”

“When we create laws,” she said, “it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior.”

Whether or not Harris would still think that way, or even think such an intrusion would be OK if a federal safe-storage law were to be passed, is not known. However, she has said multiple times recently that her values “have not changed” in response to allegations of flip-flopping on a number of important policy matters.

The revelation about Harris’s comments concerning the California safe storage law come as anti-gun lawmakers throughout much of the country clamor for such laws and more after a recent Georgia school shooting.

We’ve reported many times over the past few months how Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, favor many anti-gun schemes and gun-ban proposals, including compensated confiscation of guns they deem to be “assault weapons.” For her part, however, Harris disputes that claim that she would “take everyone’s guns away” despite being in favor of that very thing when she was running for president back in 2019.

Harris and Walz also favor so-called “universal” background checks, mandatory safe-storage laws, repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a federal red-flag law,, increased funding for the ATF, increased funding for the FBI to conduct more background checks and increased funding for the CDC, “because the gun violence epidemic is a public health crisis.” Incidentally, all of those anti-gun ideas are highlighted in the latest Democratic Party Platform.
