- Sen. Kamala Harris of California railed against Congress' inability to pass "smart gun-safety laws" during a CNN town hall at the Sheslow Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa on Monday night.
- Harris referred to failed legislation following the Sandy Hook mass shooting in 2012, where 20 children and six adults were killed.
- "This is going to sound very harsh," Harris said to a packed audience. "I think somebody should have required all those members of Congress to go in a room, in a locked room with no press and nobody else, and look at the autopsy photographs of those babies."
- Harris highlighted the "false choice" narrative from some gun advocates: "You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society: that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers."
