-"There is no reason a civilian needs to own a weapon of war, which is why as the daughter of a police officer and gun owner myself, I support Senator Feinstein’s Bill that would ban assault weapons, silencers, and bump stocks." https://twitter.com/KatieHill4CA/status ... 8251067392 (twitter.com)

Gun Safety
As a lifelong gun owner, I am ready to be a sensible voice in the debate around gun violence. I believe that respecting the Second Amendment and advocating for gun safety measures are not mutually exclusive, which is why I am proud to have the distinction as a Gun Sense Candidate from Moms Demand Action. Like we already have in California, I support a federal ban on assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump stocks, as well as increasing waiting periods, raising the minimum age to purchase all weapons, and expanding our current background check system. These measures can have a significant impact on reducing gun violence, while also adequately retaining the right to bear arms. It’s time to move past inflammatory politics and take steps now to curb gun violence, because protecting our kids and our communities is something we can ALL agree on.
She doesn't miss much:
  • Democratic party wish list of hardware to ban.
  • Democratic party wish list of policies to enact.
  • "Civilians" don't need...
  • Self-qualifies as "gun owner" and Second Amendment supporter for appeal to authority argument.
  • "Military weapons of war."
  • "Sensible."
  • Dubious claim bans and restrictions have reduced "gun violence."
  • Hiding behind kids.
  • "We" can "all agree" based on how one side frames the argument.

The 25th District is mainly northern LA County bordering on Kern County (district of Kevin McCarthy, US House Rep leader). 538 gives the advantage to Hill in two of their three forecasts but polls alone it's a tossup. Steve Knight has been written off before and survived, he's former LAPD. Demographics are changing in that area, Democrats last had that seat in 1990.
