Kamala Harris on Wednesday said if elected president she will press Congress to pass a red flag law that would allow law enforcement officials to temporarily seize the firearms of white nationalists that may be on the verge of carrying out a hate crime.
The Democratic presidential candidate's proposal calls for the creation of “domestic terrorism prevention orders” that would give law enforcement and family members of suspected white nationalists or domestic terrorists the ability to petition a federal court to temporarily restrict a person’s access to guns if the person exhibits clear evidence of being a danger.
“We need to take action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and stop violent, hate-fueled attacks before they happen,” Harris said. “By focusing on confronting these domestic terror threats, we can save lives.”
At a town hall hosted by CNN, Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more stringent regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
She knows the problem and has a plan at hand:

We definitely need a new sheriff in our country, a gun czar, who will not be intimidated by the pro-gun fanatics/lobby.
We definitely need to beef up:
Background checks
Close Loopholes
Seize firearms for criminals
More severe penalties for law breakers
Create regulations for gun manufacturers.
It is quite a crisis that will likely require executive orders.
Why do you claim that it is "quite a crisis?"
What regulations could she pass on gun manufacturers that would make a difference in this supposed crisis?
We the people should be able to sue gun manufacturers, particularly victims of gun violence. Just like in 1999 when the government, yes the government sued Tobacco companies on behalf of sick smokers.
Or just like there was a lawsuit against J&J regarding Talcum powder and baby powder which causes ovarian cancer.
The gun industry needs to be held liable.
You can sue gun manufacturers, just like you can sue manufacturers for anything else if they make a defective product or falsely advertise their products. What you can't do is sue them for making perfectly legal products.
What should the gun industry be liable for? Or do you just think that Democrats should be able to abuse our court system to accomplish what they failed to do with legislation?
Do you understand the difference between a defective product that causes injury and death vs. a product that is misused by its owner/operator that results in injury or death?
If you decide to drive a car at reckless speeds the result in injury or death, thats the sole responsibility of the owner/operator for using the car in a manner both illegal and unsafe.....if you get into a car, turn the key and it catches fire due to faulty assembly or design, thats the fault of the manufacturer.
By all means, sue the manufacturer for faulty design or assembly......but its not the responsibility of the manufacturer when people do stupid or illegal acts with the product.

By that logic, people that get lung cancer from cigs, it is there fault completely right?

The major flaw in your supposed point is, there is no way to use a cigarette the way it was designed and intended to be used that doesn’t increase the risk of lung cancer. Now if you happen to find an ad campaign that a gun manufacturer says something like “Hey buy a XYZbrand you can shoot someone with it all day and no one will be hurt” then maybe you can try and draw a cigarette comparison.
Or if you can find a case where someone uses a cigarette to intentionally set fire to the neighbors house, then the victims family sues Marlboro because that was the brand the arsonist used to commit his crime with you would also be able to draw a comparison to cigarettes and guns.
Sue them for what?
That's exactly what a tobacco executive would say!

People can modify a semi-auto to an auto. That is completely on the gun manufacturers for creating a faulty product easily manipulated.
Design a weapon that cannot be altered otherwise let's sue the hell out of them for creating an illegal product.

For every victim of gun violence, there should 1 lawsuit against a gun manufacturer. Again, drown them into litigation, force them to file bankruptcy.
