WATCH: Resurfaced Clip Shows Vice President Kamala Harris' True 'Totalitarian' Desires On Guns - 'Terrifying, Disqualifying, And Blatantly Unconstitutional'

On Wednesday, a resurfaced clip of Vice President Kamala Harris went viral on social media after the former San Fransisco district attorney admitted that she would allow law enforcement to enter the homes of residents to ensure they complied with the state's gun laws. 

"Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible," she said during a press conference with then-Mayor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in May 2007. According to Fox News, the press conference was held to promote legislation introduced by the city's board of supervisors. The bill, signed by Newsom later that year, implemented strict gun control in the city, which included banning the possession of firearms in public housing and mandating that gun distributors give an inventory of their weapons to the San Fransisco Police Department every six months.

"When we create laws, it's not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it's about trying to encourage certain types of behavior," Harris told the assembled press. 

Harris' resurfaced remarks from her time in California politics have stirred controversy online, with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson noting, "This is openly totalitarian. If we don't resist this, we're done." The Trump campaign described the vice president's comments as a sign that she's an "anti-gun RADICAL."

"Kamala Harris wants mass gun confiscation, and she's willing to weaponize the government to enter your home and seize your legally owned guns," the National Rifle Association said about the clip. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) described her comments as "Terrifying, disqualifying, and blatantly unconstitutional."

The resurfaced clip is a reminder to Americans of the vice president's radically progressive past in California. On the campaign trail, Harris has repeatedly said that she doesn't want to take people's guns away, but she's been adamant that her "values" haven't changed since she first ran for the presidency in 2019. If her values truly haven't changed, then she could be supportive of adopting the 2007 San Fransisco policy nationwide if given the chance to run the White House for four years.

During an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday, Harris gave some insight into her position on firearms but contradicted herself in the first sentence of her response. "I am a gun owner, and Tim Walzs is a gun owner, and we're not trying to take anybody's guns away from them, but we do need an assault weapons ban," she said. "Assault weapons are designed to kill a lot of human beings quickly and have no place on the streets of a civil society."
