It’s a direct video of her saying this. Don’t try to deny it.

    Kinda like when Trump said “take the guns first, go through due process second” back in 2018

      Kind of makes you wonder why everyone on his golf course isn’t open carrying since it’ll make the whole situation safer? They should issue one at the front if you’re not strapped.

      When have more guns ever been a bad thing?

      She definitely said this, in 2007, when describing a law passed in San Francisco requiring the safe storage and handling of guns in the city. The law did not lead to any surprise inspections of the homes of gun owners, and the law has withstood several challenges in every level of the courts. It’s pretty clear to me from context and how the law was enforced that she was speaking about the right to privacy vs the responsibility to follow the law. She was not actually threatening to enter homes without cause and inspect anyone’s gun safe, although I can understand why it is being interpreted that way (especially by those motivated to create attack ads).

      There was also a provision in the same bill prohibiting gun storage in public housing, but that was ruled unconstitutional in 2009.
