So what else is new?<\/p>\n
Harris Might Own A Gun, But She Doesn’t Represent Gun Owners<\/a><\/p>\n Vice President Kamala Harris shocked a lot of people when she said she owned a gun during the debate last week.<\/p>\n Well, in the most technical sense, sure.<\/p>\n However, that doesn’t\u00a0absolve her from her many anti-gun sins<\/a>, so to speak.<\/p>\n ABC News debate moderator Linsey Davis referenced the vice president\u2019s flip-flopping on mandatory gun buybacks, which amount to confiscation, during one question that was more about changing policy positions generally than it was about the Second Amendment specifically.<\/p>\n Near the end of the debate, Davis asked, \u201cYou wanted mandatory buybacks for assault weapons. Now your campaign says you don\u2019t,\u201d Davis said before asking Harris why so many of her policy positions had changed,\u00a0according to The Reload<\/a>.<\/p>\n Vice President Harris didn\u2019t address the question and was only forced to respond later to a criticism by former\u00a0President Donald Trump warning voters<\/a>\u00a0that if elected, the vice president would have \u201ca plan to confiscate everyone\u2019s gun.\u201d She jumped in with a comment that caught viewers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then this business about taking everyone\u2019s guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,\u201d Vice President Harris stated. \u201cWe\u2019re not taking anyone\u2019s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n The vice president\u2019s remark about being a gun owner drew attention. She practically never mentions being a gun owner in all her calls for more gun control and the only reference before is a glancing mention in a\u00a02019 CNN interview<\/a>. Not surprisingly, Second Amendment supporters were skeptical of her statement.<\/p>\n \u201cSo now Harris owns a gun? Ha, I\u2019d love to know what kind\/caliber and how often she trains with it,\u201d competitive shooter, GunsOut TV founder and CNN commentator\u00a0Shermichael Singleton posted on X<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now, the truth is that there were previous reports of Harris owning a gun. As a former prosecutor in a city like San Francisco, it’s not overly surprising that she’d have a gun. A lot of prosecutors do, and for what should be pretty obvious reasons. It’s not like there isn’t some potential of such people to be targets, after all.<\/p>\n But there are gun owners and gun owners.<\/p>\n See, no nation has a complete and total gun ban. There’s always a way for some people to have a firearm and Kamala Harris is one of those people who will be able to get a gun no matter what the laws are.<\/p>\n What she’s advocating for are laws that will inhibit regular people, the actual gun owners, from having them. Both she and her running mate might own guns, but they’d gladly see us relegated to revolvers and pump-action shotguns for protecting our family while the criminals are running around with semi-autos and those converted to full-auto.<\/p>\n As for her response to Trump, she might not be taking everyone’s guns, but she most definitely wants to take some of them from us. I don’t care what she says, I’m not buying that suddenly she figures a mandatory buyback is a bad idea. At best, she knows it’s never going to happen so she won’t push for it anymore. It’ll come back the moment she thinks she can get away with it and we all know it.<\/p>\n I think the best way to view it is that Kamala Harris isn’t really a gun owner so much as someone who owns a gun.<\/p>\n The latter group figure they’re the exception, that they can be trusted with one but aren’t so sure about everyone else, so they should be restricted. The former recognizes that in order to protect their right to keep and bear arms, everyone else’s needs to be protected as well.<\/p>\n There’s no world I can imagine where anyone remotely like the Kamala Harris we’ve all seen would fall into that camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So what else is new?
