He set out the joint agenda that they plan to follow if they win the next elections in November. His approach will include implementing universal background checks, red flag laws and an ambitious “assault weapons” ban.

Walz, standing next to Harris, expressed his approval with applause as Harris laid out his policy plans.

His tenure as governor has already seen him take steps to tighten gun laws in Minnesota, a point Harris emphasized to the crowd.

The joint appearance underscores a key platform of the Harris-Walz campaign, which is to tighten gun regulations in an attempt to address what they call “gun violence.”
