Kamala Harris

Harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general of California, took care to note that her support for “smart gun safety laws” did not imply disagreement with the tenets of the Second Amendment.

“You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers,” she said.

She called for a ban on assault weapons as well as universal background checks, saying the only obstacle was Congress, which lacked “the courage to act the right way.” As for the NRA, which awards her a 7 percent rating, she acknowledged its influence was “real” but also suggested its power has been overstated, making the organization a “paper tiger.”

“We’re not waiting for a tragedy,” she said. “We have seen the worst human tragedies we can imagine."
