Kamala Harris owns a gun. Are you surprised or mad?

We will start with the assault rifles first. Then it will be easier to gradually move on to other types, until we eventually get rid of every last one.

+1. Start with the assault guns and then immediately move to the sniper-style guns with the built-in telescopes that can hit a child from half a mile away. Why does anyone need a gun that can shoot 200 yards away? How is someone two soccer fields away from you possibly a threat, even to the most paranoid white male?

Assault guns and sniper guns. Get the rest in a few more years after that.

I’m enthusiastically voting for Harris, but yes, I am a little disappointed that she’s a gun owner. But obviously she’s a responsible one and I get that it’s politically expedient for her to have one. So whatever.

She has a gun because she has needed one. Once a prosecutor you face lots of threats. She thinks people have been coming to kill her. And she would be right as this happens all the time to DAs. Get real.

So only special government employees should have guns?

DP Yea, I’m fine with that. You don’t need a gun. I don’t either. We’re both nobody’s.

The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."

In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense.

Speaking of NRA-bullsh!t - that’s what that statistic sounds like. I don’t believe that for a second. I don’t know a single person who owns a gun.

Does she have a weapon of war? If not she is not a gun owner.

I trust her to own a gun and she has clearly passed a background check and has no arrests. That being said I would not want her or anyone to own an assault weapon. I doubt she does.

Harris supports gun confiscation, mandatory sale to the government.

Cite your sources. Preferably not wingnut propaganda.

Keep trying, lyin’ MAGA sh*tbag!

DP

That’s NOT a lie. It’s in her campaign platform. That’s one of the biggest reasons many people whom I know support her, support her.

Because she has PROMISED that she will do gun confiscation. If she doesn’t, she may be a 1-term president herself. She made a promise. She damn well better keep it and do confiscation.

From Kamalaharris.com:

As a prosecutor, Vice President Harris fought violent crime by getting illegal guns and violent criminals off California streets. During her time as District Attorney, she raised conviction rates for violent offenders—including gang members, gun felons, and domestic abusers. As Attorney General, Vice President Harris built on this record, removing over 12,000 illegal guns from the streets of California and prosecuting some of the toughest transnational criminal organizations in the world.

In the White House, Vice President Harris helped deliver the largest investment in public safety ever, investing $15 billion in supporting local law enforcement and community safety programs across 1,000 cities, towns, and counties. President Biden and Vice President Harris encouraged bipartisan cooperation to pass the first major gun safety law in nearly 30 years, which included record funding to hire and train over 14,000 mental health professionals for our schools. As head of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, she spearheaded policies to expand background checks and close the gun show loophole. Under her and President Biden’s leadership, violent crime is at a 50-year low, with the largest single-year drop in murders ever.

As President, she won’t stop fighting so that Americans have the freedom to live safe from gun violence in our schools, communities, and places of worship. She’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. She will also continue to invest in funding law enforcement, including the hiring and training of officers and people to support them, and will build upon proven gun violence prevention programs that have helped reduce violent crime throughout the country.

Well regulated.

The term well regulated in the context of language usage in the 1790s meant well prepared. So that would mean people would need to have appropriate weapons with which to train and become well prepared/proficient.

But good try.

Awesome!
Then you agree the constitution says that anyone who owns a gun needs to be trained and be proficient in it. Sounds good to me. Just like you need to go to drivers ed and pass a test showing that you are prepared/proficient to safely drive a car, let's make all gun owners pass a test showing they are prepared/proficient to safely own a gun.

No, her owning a gun is smart.

I'm a Democrat and I own a gun as well. Most Democrats I know own guns, we just don't own assault weapons / an AR 15.

Nope. Democrat with a few guns at home. I hate guns but DH was in the military forever. I just don’t talk about it because to a criminal, guns are the most valuable thing in your home. Why make yourself a target?
