Kamala Harris' proposed executive action on gun control would be "an attack on Second Amendment rights." Harris, D-Calif, is expected to pledge at a campaign event in New Hampshire Wednesday that if she's elected president, she would sign an executive order banning the importation of AR-15-style assault weapons, Politico reported. "If by my 100th day in office when elected president of the United States, the United States Congress fails to put a bill on my desk to sign with all of the good ideas or any of the good ideas that I'm prepared to take executive action because that's what's needed," Harris said on CNN Sunday.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION HUNTING  Georgia: Gov.

"I don't know whether, where that is in terms of under the Constitution whether we're able to do that. My guess is we could."    POLITICO.COM Kamala Harris escalates gun control agenda Kamala Harris' unilateral crackdown on guns is expanding. At a presidential campaign event Wednesday in New Hampshire, Harris will pledge to take executive action banning the importation of AR-15-style assault weapons — a move that comes just three weeks after the California Democrat rolled out her sweeping gun-control proposal.  Harris — a former career prosecutor who appears intent on owning the gun issue in the crowded primary — said if Congress fails to pass stricter gun laws in her first 100 days as president, she would take matters into her own hands. That involves signing executive orders requiring near-universal background checks on gun sales, closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole," reversing the Trump administration's move to allow fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants to buy guns, and repealing a law that prevents victims from holding gun-makers and firearms dealers liable for their losses.   REUTERS.COM Senator Harris to promise ban on U.S. imports of some "high-powered" guns Expanding on her gun control proposals, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris will announce on Wednesday that if elected president she will prohibit imports of some high-powered guns into the United States.  Harris has already endorsed a swath of gun control measures, but at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, she will promise to institute a ban on "AR-15-style assault weapons," a senior campaign official said.  There is legal precedent for such a ban, the aide said, pointing to similar measures by former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush taken in order to study permanent bans.    LEGAL & LEGISLATION Minnesota: Conference Committee Votes Down Anti-Gun Language for Omnibus Legislation On Tuesday, the Judiciary/Public Safety Conference Committee voted down the addition of anti-gun language from House Files 8 and 9 onto the Omnibus Bill, SF 802.
