“When Kamala Harris started talking about owning a Glock, I felt nothing,” said Amara Barnes, founder of Women Gun Owners Association of America. “We all realize that it’s pandering and virtue signaling to the right, and she’s hoping that we’re too dumb not to realize that she is completely anti-gun.”
During the presidential debate on Sept. 10, former President Trump attempted to highlight how Harris has distanced herself from previously held far-left stances, pointing to past stances on fracking, defunding the police and gun control. Trump claimed Harris wanted to take people’s guns away, which Harris immediately disputed. …
Washington-based firearms instructor and Second Amendment advocate Jane Milhans called Harris’ Glock talk “smokescreen campaign rhetoric.”
“I do not believe that she is a gun owner that practices and supports our right to protect ourselves,” Milhans said.
Harris promises to “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws,” according to her campaign website. She argues “commonsense gun safety laws” will help protect Americans from “gun violence in our schools, communities, and places of worship.”
When she ran for president in 2019, then-Sen. Harris pledged to sign a series of executive orders on gun control if Congress failed to act within her first 100 days in office. She also expressed support for mandatory gun buyback programs.
Milhans is especially worried about the judges whom Harris may appoint if she is elected president, which could affect legal battles over gun control at both the state and federal level.
“She will appoint judges that most likely are anti-Second Amendment, anti-constitutional rights,” Milhans said. “When there are bad bills that go against our constitutional rights, we need to be assured that the court system is a fair process.”
