Kamala Harris Blasts Congress' 'Pitiful' Response To Mass Shootings

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Vice President Kamala Harris called out members of Congress for their “pitiful” inaction on gun violence following over 160 mass shootings this year, including one that killed four and injured 28 at an Alabama birthday party last week. Harris, who pleaded for “reasonable gun safety laws” earlier, questioned on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” Thursday why lawmakers don’t “have the courage” to do something. “I just think it is pitiful that the people in the United States Congress do not have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby, stand up to the NRA and say, ‘Look, I support Second Amendment but we need reasonable gun safety laws,’” Harris said. Harris, elsewhere in the interview, slammed the presentation of a “false choice” between the Second Amendment and gun safety laws.
