Sen Harris: I would use executive orders for stricter gun control if Congress doesn't act

Kamala Harris said Sunday that if she were elected to the Oval Office, she would give Congress a short window to act on passing stricter gun control laws, but then take action on her own if lawmakers failed to act.

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union Sunday, host Jake Tapper asked Harris her opinion on other candidates' proposals for laws intended to further regulate the sales of firearms.

Harris said she liked these ideas, but noted "We're not at any loss for good ideas. People have been having good ideas for decades on this issue."

Where Americans are at a loss on the matter of gun control, argued Harris, was for "people in Congress to have the courage to do something."

Rule by executive order to bypass Congress?

Isn't that what Trump does?
