Late during the presidential debate on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris asserted something that might have surprised some viewers: She owns a gun.
Ms. Harris’s statement came in response to an accusation from former President Donald J. Trump that “she has a plan to confiscate everybody’s gun.”
Ms. Harris pointed to her record of gun ownership, as well as that of her vice-presidential nominee, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota.
“This business about taking everyone’s guns away — Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” she said. “We’re not taking anybody’s guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”
This is not the first time that Ms. Harris has spoken of owning a gun, a cultural signifier that over the years has more often been associated with Republicans than Democrats. When she was running for president in the 2020 Democratic primary, Ms. Harris, a former prosecutor, said that she kept a gun for safety.
“I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety,” she told reporters in Iowa in 2019. “I was a career prosecutor.”

As a “gun owner” with a firearm for “personal safety” , she should advocate for interstate ccw reciprocity. Right?
Her record and past statements are not who she claims to be now.
Yeah, and she grew her own peppers, and got high while listening to TuPac. She’s just like us. She eats Doritos. Doritos! We all have armed security guards, right?
“We don’t wasn’t to take anyone’s guns.”
“We want to ban the most popular rifle platform in the country.”
You don’t get to have both of those.
With double speak comes double standards. We have a lot of democrat gun owner politicians that try to sucker the moderate vote then support every commie bill imaginable once elected …… Us figuring it out finally is why we are still fighting over redistricting 3 years later.
