Kamala Harris Faces Criticism for Glock Ownership Amid Gun Control Advocacy

The Vice President's revelation of owning a Glock has sparked debate over her stance on gun rights and regulations.

Kamala Harris disclosed she owns a Glock, prompting criticism from gun rights advocates who accuse her of hypocrisy given her support for gun control measures.
Harris has emphasized her gun ownership for self-defense, highlighting a nuanced stance that supports both gun rights and stricter regulations like assault weapons bans and universal background checks.
The revelation has become a focal point in Harris' presidential campaign, with her team using it to connect with gun owners while advocating for new gun laws.
Critics question how Harris acquired the Glock given California's strict gun laws, though exemptions exist for certain law enforcement officials.
The issue underscores shifting political strategies, as both parties navigate changing voter attitudes towards gun rights and safety.
