Kamala Harris Defends Assault Weapons Ban

California Attorney General Kamala Harris (D) defended the idea of an assault weapons ban Sunday, even though the chances of a national ban are now quite slim, and commended Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) for advocating for such a ban.

"I, as a career prosecutor, have personally seen cases of both police officers and innocent babies being killed by assault weapons," Harris said on CNN's "State of the Union." "There is no reasonable basis for having those in our streets."

"I think the folks in D.C. have to reject a false choice that suggests that you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you're in favor of reasonable and common sense gun laws. You can be both," she said.
