Kamala Harris Emphasizes Gun Ownership in Debate with Trump

The Democratic nominee highlights her personal firearm use while advocating for stricter gun control measures.

Kamala Harris revealed during the debate that she owns a handgun for personal safety, countering claims she would confiscate guns if elected.
Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, both gun owners, assert they support the Second Amendment while advocating for universal background checks and assault weapon bans.
Harris has shifted her stance from supporting a mandatory gun buyback program to focusing on other gun control measures like red flag laws.
The debate marked the first time the issue of gun control was prominently discussed in the 2024 election cycle.
Donald Trump, facing restrictions on his own gun ownership due to legal issues, continues to position himself as a staunch defender of gun rights.
