Kamala Harris Surprises Voters with Gun Ownership Stance

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed her gun ownership in several interviews, highlighting a personal safety reason and a political message. Despite advocating for stricter gun legislation, she assures voters that Democrats, like her and Tim Walz, are not seeking to confiscate guns.

In a surprising revelation, Vice President Kamala Harris has disclosed her status as a gun owner in two recent interviews and during a debate against Republican Donald Trump. This disclosure, primarily for personal safety, has sent shockwaves through some voter demographics while conveying a deliberate political message.

Harris revealed in a '60 Minutes' CBS News interview that she owns a Glock, a popular choice among U.S. law enforcement. She highlighted her law enforcement background, emphasizing that her personal weapon is securely stowed at her California residence, according to the White House.

While advocating for stronger gun legislation, Harris has assured the public that Democrats, including her running mate Tim Walz, do not seek to confiscate firearms, countering Republican accusations. Instead, Harris promotes measures like universal background checks and expanded red flag laws to enhance gun safety.
