Kamala Harris calls for 'assault weapons' ban in Chicago speech

Vice President Kamala Harris called for an “assault weapons” ban and an end to the “liability shield” for gun manufacturers in a Tuesday evening speech to a teachers union.

Speaking in Chicago, just miles from where the July Fourth Highland Park shooting took place, Harris drew loud cheers for calling on Congress to ban such guns, “assault weapons” meaning semi-automatic rifles, as they did in 1994.
