Vice President Kamala Harris has announced a new initiative that could restrict American’s Second Amendment rights.

Harris hosted state legislators at the White House on Wednesday. There, she unveiled the Biden administrations so-called Safer States Initiative.

As part of the initiative, the White House is calling for states to require safe storage of firearms for gun owners. Additionally, it calls to strengthen background checks among other goals.

During the event, Harris also claimed gun violence is a crisis.

Thanks to the leadership of Gabby Giffords and young advocates like Trevon, President Biden and I have passed the most historic gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years.
