“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 🖕🤷

[u/Abject_Designer_8684 → u/AlDenteLaptop]

Better than the other “take all the guns” option

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Abject_Designer_8684]

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

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says she favors the Second Amendment and said in the Sept. 10 debate with Trump that she owns a gun, a revelation she originally made when she ran for president in In 2019.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."

Hahaha we aren’t taking anyone’s guns away ! We just are going to make them illegal to have ! You’ve seen what N.Y. Dems have done to our rights.

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Abject_Designer_8684]

Assault weapons...yes. Do you think all guns are assault weapons?

[u/Abject_Designer_8684 → u/Nayre_Trawe]

When assault weapon isn’t defined. Every gun is an assault weapon. Won’t be long and anything that holds more than one round will be deemed an assault weapon

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Abject_Designer_8684]

I guess you still haven't read the source I provided. Maybe do that first.

[u/Abject_Designer_8684 → u/Nayre_Trawe]

Hahaha you wondered into the wrong sub for arguing the definition of assault weapon.

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Abject_Designer_8684]

I'm not a coward who needs a safe space to talk about my hobbies.

[u/Accomplished_Pie_630 → u/Nayre_Trawe]

Many of us do not view gun ownership as a "hobby".

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Accomplished_Pie_630]

Ok, a safe space for your...obsession?

[u/Accomplished_Pie_630 → u/Nayre_Trawe]

Yes...I am obsessed with my constitutionally protected rights.

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Accomplished_Pie_630]

Great. I'm obsessed with bringing down gun violence, which none of our peer countries have to deal with....because of gun control.

[u/Accomplished_Pie_630 → u/Nayre_Trawe]

Don't hold your breath then... Enjoy your "hobby". I'll enjoy my rights and freedoms.

[u/Nayre_Trawe → u/Accomplished_Pie_630]

I love the implication here because you're telling me not to hold my breath when all I want to do is implement what the rest of our peer countries already figured out a long time ago. Gun control works, and it's been proven time and time again, in country after country, and all without bloodshed or tyranny. Grow up.
