Re: Kamala Harris would proclaim new gun-control measures through executive orders (presidential decrees?)

The enemy of incrementalism isn't blanket opposition, it's a firm stance. In a democracy, a firm stance that all gun control is wrong is unsustainable and has no historical precedent.

The Democrats' incrementalism on gun control must be consistently pointed out as a lie. Their current assault weapons fetish is a direct response to their failure to ban handguns. The ongoing need is an honest, consistent message, which for years has been "actually enforce the laws that we already have".

In this case, Harris's statement is 2 parts "What the NRA has been saying for decades", and one part "bring back a law that everyone agreed was useless".

This is inconsistency on her part, and needs to be pointed out in contrast to a very consistent message by the NRA. "Kamala Harris parrots NRA in effort to appear mainstream on guns" is the headline we want, and more importantly the ACCURATE headline.
