Less than two weeks after the El Paso, Texas, mass shooting and two years after violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Sen. Kamala Harris has released a plan to take on domestic terrorism, by making it harder for suspected individuals to get guns.
The California Democrat's proposal focuses on two areas where Congress has failed to act: creating a federal"red flag" law and requiring background checks for online gun sales. "In America, loaded guns should not be a few clicks away for any domestic terrorist with a laptop or smartphone," the 2020 presidential candidate said in a statement.
In her proposal, Harris also focused on requiring online websites that sell firearms to perform background checks. She specifically named Armslist.com, a free, classified platform for listing handguns, rifles and ammunition for sale. Gun control groups have criticized Armslist for connecting private sellers to buyers in cyberspace and skirting background checks.
