The first presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump didn’t provide voters with much regarding a topic that is one of the most important issues to them as they consider which candidate they’ll support on Nov. 5: the Second Amendment.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have operated for three and a half years as the most hostile presidential administration against the firearm industry and the right to keep and bear arms. The vice president is talking on the campaign trail like she’ll continue that approach. Many believe she would be even more antigun, anti-industry as president than she is as the Biden administration’s “gun czar” leading The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention that is staffed by Everytown’s former top lobbyist.
It took more than 90 minutes before there was even a mention of firearms and it was the candidates who brought it up, not the transparently biased moderators. Voters will be looking for more as they rightfully have serious concerns about what a potential Harris administration would mean for law-abiding Americans and their Constitutional rights to purchase and possess firearms.
Surprise Gun Owner?
ABC News debate moderator Linsey Davis referenced the vice president’s 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.
Near the end of the debate, Davis asked, “You wanted mandatory buybacks for assault weapons. Now your campaign says you don’t,” Davis said before asking Harris why so many of her policy positions had changed, according to The Reload.
Vice President Harris didn’t address the question and was only forced to respond later to a criticism by former President Donald Trump warning voters that if elected, the vice president would have “a plan to confiscate everyone’s gun.” She jumped in with a comment that caught viewers’ attention.
“And then this business about taking everyone’s guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,” Vice President Harris stated. “We’re not taking anyone’s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”
The vice president’s 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 2019 CNN interview. Not surprisingly, Second Amendment supporters were skeptical of her statement.
“So now Harris owns a gun? Ha, I’d love to know what kind/caliber and how often she trains with it,” competitive shooter, GunsOut TV founder and CNN commentator Shermichael Singleton posted on social media.
Podcast host and former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly jumped in, too. “KH: we’re not taking anyone’s guns away. Truth: She is literally on camera saying she supports a mandatory buy-back program.”
Kyle Smith posted on X about the vice president’s track record on gun confiscation as well.
“Um Harris did support mandatory gun confiscation aka ‘buybacks’ and the people deserve an explanation of why she has reversed course on this, ABC News.” Smith posted a Bloomberg News article after his comment with the headline “Kamala Harris Supports Mandatory Buyback of Assault Weapons.”
Outkick founder and sports and political commentator Clay Travis also added some important questions in his post about the remark. “Kamala owns a gun? Where does she keep it? Aren’t they illegal in DC? Has she ever talked about having a gun before? Genuinely curious.”
Pro-Second Amendment attorney Kostas Moros added a salient point. “Kamala Harris is why Californians couldn’t buy a modern handgun for a decade,” he posted.
And Ashley St. Clair posted about the hypocrisy of VP Harris’ remark. “Kamala Harris just said Trump is lying about her support of a mandatory gun buyback because she ‘is a gun owner’ The reality is, Kamala will get to keep the guns protecting her while she forces you to turn yours in. But don’t listen to me, listen to Kamala herself,” she posted while linking to a video of the vice president.
Crime Fact Check
Earlier in the debate, former President Trump brought up the fact that voters were still very concerned about crime while attacking the Biden-Harris administration track record on law enforcement and keeping Americans safe in their communities.
ABC News moderator David Muir jumped in to attempt to fact check the former president in real time, suggesting President Trump was wrong.
“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country,” Muir falsely suggested. The former President didn’t let it slip, either.
“Excuse me, the FBI made defrauding statements. They didn’t include the worst cities,” former President Trump corrected. “They didn’t include the cities with the worst crime.”
That’s true and the former president was correct in fact-checking Muir. NSSF has reported on this in detail – nearly a third of America’s cities where most of the crime is being committed are no longer reporting crime statistics to the FBI.
It’s an important fact that deserved more attention in the debate as well as “self-defense” and keeping one’s family and home safe remains the top reason given for why Americans continue to buy firearms during an historic stretch.
Record of Concern
Americans who value their Second Amendment rights can make their voices heard at the ballot box on Nov. 5. There are estimates of 10 million hunters who remain unregistered to vote, and over 22 million Americans who purchased a firearm for the first time since the previous presidential election. That’s a tidal force in a close-polling election and NSSF urges everyone to #GUNVOTE.Vice President Kamala Harris has a 20-plus-year fervently antigun record. Her top surrogates still vouch that she supports gun confiscation, upending the U.S. Supreme Court with antigun justices, “reimagining” the Constitution and would be more radical on gun control than she is right now as partner in the Biden-Harris administration.
Don’t Risk Your Rights. #GUNVOTE on Nov. 5.
The reason they call confiscation a mandatory buy back is because they view all private property as federal property that they let you keep. For now anyway.
Excellent point!
Of course she owns guns. She was a Prosecutor. The top of the heap when it comes to law enforcement. One of the privileged. Guns for me but not for thee.
‘You will own nothing and be happy’!
Sound familiar?
I support the Second Amendment but common sense says cackling hyenas should not own firearms therefore I will mandate cackling hyenas surrender their guns…How do you like the taste of those apples you cackling sack of sht?
TRUMP/VANCE 2024
How often do people her age suddenly change all of their beliefs? Now consider how often it happens to people who have been politicians their entire life. That doesn’t happen. She’s such a fraud. She’s playing a game for the low information undecided voters. The only reason she can do that is because the media is assisting the effort.
She was a tough prosecutor! Let’s ignore that, more recently, she was left of Bernie Sanders as a senator. Let’s ignore that she is half of the Biden-Harris Admin. According to them, she’s always the last person in the room with the president making the tough decisions. She’s very proud of Bidenomics, her work on immigration, and the Afghanistan withdrawal. She said so herself.
Bernie on Kamala’s flip-flopping: “I think she is trying to be pragmatic and do what she thinks is right in order to win the election.”
They call us cynical for saying politicians are weasels, cheats and liars and will say and do whatever they need to to get elected then they themselves come out and say in so many words “of course we’ll say and do whatever we need to get elected.”
They all need the rope.
Shire-man, you just insulted weasels, cheats and liars.
Traitor Mayorcas should be first to the gallows. On live television. I’ll hold the rope.
Kameltoe owning guns? This is my shocked face.
She is a firm believer in “guns for thee and not for we”.
Kamaltoe wore earrings that allowed her to cheat. Audio ear buds. The gal interrogator er “moderator” is a sorority sister of the presidon’t of vice. Likely the vp illegally has a gat. So did hIt-LeR. Yes Haitian’s are eating pets & everything else in Springfield,Oh. Venezuelan’s are violently taking over apartment building’s in Chiraq. Yes the vp has vowed to take your gats,your money,your children and have unfettered access to murdering babies. I stopped watching ABC network “newz”. So should everyone. When a multitide of Dims complain(!)something ain’t right!
???
Possibilities….
1. Perhaps her gun was a gift from one of the many criminals she let walk while the AG of california.
2. its likely he gun is a ‘ghost gun’ because it doesn’t really exist.
3. she did have a gun at some point while the ag of califonia but doesn’t any longer and shes doing the Walz trick of misdirection (which is most likely).
4. Maybe still has the gun, and as soon as she dusts the cobwebs off of the box it comes in she can open the box to see if the gun is still there.
anyway, what ever the status of her claimed gun ownership she is lying about not wanting to confiscate guns and shes doing it with that familiar government deceptive ‘soft promise’ technique after avoiding the question and then having to be forced to answer. She is a liar, plain and simple and she told numerous lies during the debate.
…. for all we know, that could have been Miner49iq up there – and he/she/it/they/them would consider that a compliment.
I’d be curious if she was one of the privileged to have a California CC permit like DiFi was.
Came here to recall Diane as well.
🚨Spoiler Alert!
It’s a Red Ryder BB gun.
A BB gun is a deadly weapon. People kill with them all the time.
Can be.
The s.o.cia.li.st p.ro.gress.ive democrat
Klu Klux Klan legally owns guns too.
California senator Diane Feinstein, a Democrat. Owned guns too.
And she will have her gun long after all of ours have been confiscated. She is part of the privileged.
Governor Moonbeam. Jerry Brown Jr. owns a gun too. A Ruger 1022. And he really enjoys shooting it.
He signed gun control into law in California.
He did it during his second tour as california governor. I guess back in the 1970s, his first time as governor, it was just too close to the Mulford Act being signed into law.
You can’t have a conservative and a liberal governor agreeing on support for gun control in the same decade.
It looks better that Brown, a liberal democrat, waited a couple of decades and then supported in public gun control laws. The left-wing democrats are terrified of blacks who open carry guns.
But they really do like giving the blacks lots and lots of welfare. The atheists and the h0mos.exua@ls like that too.
Civil War is coming. If not that, there will be wide spread civil unrest. And it will be very violent. It will be very interesting with the millions of illegal aliens from places like communist China. Gangsters from Mexico and Venezuela.
Chris – nope – it will be ‘mostly peaceful’ civil unrest 🙁
I won’t even venture to swag how widespread and destructive it will be – remember that the ‘summer of love’ was just a rehearsal for what is looming on the horizon, especially in the inner city areas after all of the ebt cards are denied…………..
I prefer to use the term the ” summer of le.sb.ian love.”
Just looking to the background of the person who came up with the “summer of love.” Look into their background and where they worked.
When they start having several decapitated, bodies being discovered in different cities across the United States. It’ll be interesting to see, if they start connecting the dots. If it’s widely reported at all.
Kumala has admitted to smoking jazz cabbage, did she lie on her 4473 to get this mystery gun?
Good question.
Have you ever seen a recreational drug user ever admit they are an addict?
I has a question.
I actually have a few questions.
Does Kameltoe Harris have possession of her pistol in her residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington DC?
Does Kameltoe Harris ever carry her gun with her when she leaves her residence in Washington DC?
Is it legal for Kameltoe Harris to possess her gun much less carry it in Washington DC?
Has she been granted special dispensation from Washington DC’s draconian gun prohibition laws only because she is the Vice President of the United States?
Does Kameltoe Harris carry her gun when she is in the White House or in the presence of Senile Sock Puppet President Joe Biden?
Will Kameltoe Harris use her gun to assassinate Senile Sock Puppet President Joe Biden so that she can become the President of the United States?
Alternatively; Kameltoe Harris just might get down on her knees in the oval office to do what she has always done best to advance her career, then bite off Senile Sock Puppet President Joe Biden’s duck then let him bleed out?
As I recall democrat Senator from West Virginia David Rockfeller. He admitted he possessed an AK-47. And he lived in the District of Columbia.
He announced he was taking his rifle back to West Virginia.
She has a deactivated matchlock. 😆
With so much speculation and conjecture about K. Harris’ gun, who cares? She is one of the millions of gun owners that vote democrat. She, most likely, does not have it in D.C. since she has Secret Service protection, and may not even remember where it is at any moment. Her reference to assault weapons “might” be correct, since civilians can’t just go out and buy one, but we can buy an AR-15, which is just a semiauto rifle/carbine/pistol that bears some resemblance to an actual assault weapon.
The late Dianne Finestien, Senator from California was also a gun owner.
Regarding “buybacks”, the Vice President needs to explain the following. Generally speaking, government didn’t sell the guns it would “buy back”. Given that awkward fact, how would this “government buy back” work? Other questions abound, but I’ll leave them for others to pose.
I had posted this earlier, memory serving, though possibly not. Isn’t it strange, the VP doing something, owning a gun, she would disallow other law abiding citizens doing? Seems so to me, but then I’m old and set in my ways.
From other sources she purchased it when she was a prosecutor. Most likely it’s a Sig 226 or 229 since that’s was the SF cops were carrying at the time.
Sleepy Joe gave Camel-La his shotgun.
According to Hunter Biden in past comments around the time he got caught for his lying to buy a gun, Joe has five guns in his home and most people in the family owns guns, and the son of his brothers wife-turned-Hunter-on-again-off-again-mistress has an arsenal in his bedroom including AR’s and AK’s and swords.
Kamala Harris, the Califorina AG who championed slave ownership.
While Harris was California’s AG in 2014, attorneys representing California inmates argued the state was slow to comply with a court order, which said non-violent repeat offenders were to be eligible for parole after serving half their sentence to reduce overcrowding. This meant that people to which this applied were legally free people, but the problem was they were still being held in a state of custody (illegal custody and not given ‘parole’ – e.g. their freedom, not a parole hearing thing – because of the court order) at the direction of AG Harris while arguments could be made in court to keep them in custody.
Harris’ office countered that allowing some offenders out of prison so quickly would hurt their labor programs – specifically, one that allowed certain prisoners to fight wildfires.
In violation of a court order these people were held in state custody, with Harris knowingly violating the order and at her direction to argue against the release. Now granted, the argument against the release was insane and Harris did direct her lawyers not to make that specific argument again (even though it was true because this is what those illegally captive people were being used for) …but the fact remains that Harris willfully and knowingly violated the court order (to argue against the release) thus intentionally and knowingly held people in illegal captivity for the purpose of forced labor or in other words what is known as slavery.

One of the many questions the sour faced Pravda Cadre from ABC running the debate should have asked Comrade Kamela- “what kind of gun comrade- what end of the barrel does the round come out of.?” lol-That would have been funny as hell. I don’t buy it that just was another pre- laid baloney story.
If the Comrade and the Manchurian from Minnesota- get in they will make Biden look like he was not so bad.
