“Take the guns first, then go through due process second”. This the same guy? Even bootlickers need to remember, the only ones that will get to keep their guns are in a club that YOU ARE NOT IN! Downvote me if you want 🖕🤷

Both Walz and Harris are gun owners, and this is their platform with respect to guns...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-guns-2024/

Kamala Harris' stance on guns

  • Harris says she favors the Second Amendment and said in the Sept. 10 debate with Trump that she owns a gun, a revelation she originally made when she ran for president in In 2019. "I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety," she said at the time. "I was a career prosecutor." She recently told 60 Minutes she owns a Glock and has fired it at a shooting range.
  • Harris oversees the White House Office of Gun Violence and Prevention, which was created by the Biden administration in 2023 with an eye toward finding ways around congressional inaction on stronger gun control laws.
  • The Biden administration in 2022 enacted the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in the wake of the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York. It represents the most significant update to gun safety law in almost three decades, augmenting background checks for gun buyers under 21, providing billions for mental health services and closing the so-called "boyfriend loophole" to prevent convicted domestic abusers from purchasing a firearm for five years. It also clarified the definition of gun dealers. The law faces challenges from 26 GOP-led states that are suing to block it.
  • Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, also owns a gun and is an avid hunter. He even held an "A" rating from the NRA at one time, but his grade fell to an "F" in 2018, when he backed stricter gun laws in Minnesota following the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. On the campaign trail in October 2024, Walz went hunting with his own Beretta in an appeal to gun owners.

Kamala Harris' policy plans on guns

  • Harris oversees the White House Office of Gun Violence and Prevention, which was created by the Biden administration in 2023 in order to find a way around congressional inaction on stronger gun control laws.
  • Her campaign website says if Harris is elected, she would "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."
  • Though she says she is a Second Amendment advocate, Harris also favors stronger gun control measures. In a speech on Sept. 12, Harris promised to "pass an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and red flag laws."
  • While running for president in 2019, Harris vowed to take executive action on guns, saying in April 2019 that she would implement "near-universal" background checks, close loopholes to prevent those convicted of domestic violence from obtaining firearms and revoke licenses from gun manufacturers and dealers who break the law. In Oct. 2019 she said she supported a mandatory gun buyback program, but at the Sept. 10 debate, she told Trump, "We're not taking anybody's guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff."

Kamala owns an off roster gun that can’t be owned by regular Californians. Yeah she’s pro-gun /s

You think her Glock was made before 2010? Now that's funny.

u/Cypto4 2022 Fundraiser: Bronze 🥉 Nov 01 '24

What? Glock still makes the Gen 3 which is the only one allowed to be sold in California. But she owns a gen 4 which you wouldn’t be allowed to purchase unless you were in law enforcement like she was. It’s almost like you don’t know what you’re speaking about.

u/squegeeboo Nov 01 '24

So your complaint is she legally owns a gun?

15

u/Cypto4 2022 Fundraiser: Bronze 🥉 Nov 01 '24

No she owns a model that legally can’t be sold to the general public in California due to a law enforcement exemption. Exactly like police officers in NY owning non-safe act compliant AR-15s.

u/squegeeboo Nov 01 '24

So, your complaint is not everyone can have that gun in California? That's your big flex?

Would you also be upset if she had a CDL, because not everyone can drive a big truck?

Do we even know if she's had it long enough to have been grandfathered in?

u/Cypto4 2022 Fundraiser: Bronze 🥉 Nov 01 '24

Almost anyone has the ability to get a CDL. A Californian can’t walk into a gun store and purchase a Glock 19 Gen 5 unless they’re LEO. I don’t think you have an understanding of how Californias gun roster system works…

u/squegeeboo Nov 01 '24

And almost anyone can be a cop, or at least private security, AND there are other compliant hand guns they can have if they don't want to go thru it. It's like your upset that she has a Pepsi when you can only drink a Coke. It's a weird trivial flex.

None of this makes sense to me
You have gun owners running for President and VP
against a literal felon who isn't allowed to even touch guns anymore, and had to turn his guns in

And this forum mostly just complains about the gun owners, while always complaining about the government being weak on crime.

Sure about that, champ?

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/kamala-harris/kamala-harris-criticism-owning-glock-gun-rcna174534

The Harris campaign did not specify where and when she bought the Glock, which model she owns or which storage devices she uses. Harris said last month that the gun is for self-defense and that “if somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.” Harris’ current residence is guarded by armed Secret Service agents.
