Kamala Harris Faces Criticism Over Gun Ownership and Past Stance on Firearms
The Vice President's recent admission of owning a Glock has sparked debate due to her history of advocating for strict gun control laws.
- Kamala Harris revealed in a '60 Minutes' interview that she owns a Glock, a brand she previously sought to regulate under California's stringent gun laws.
- Harris's gun ownership has raised questions about double standards, as she supported measures classifying many Glock models as 'unsafe' in California.
- Critics highlight Harris's past efforts to enforce microstamping and ban new semiautomatic handguns, contrasting with her recent claims of supporting the Second Amendment.
- The Vice President's campaign efforts to present her as a moderate on gun rights have been met with skepticism due to her historical stance on gun control.
- As California's Attorney General, Harris attempted to expand gun restrictions, including a failed 2005 proposition to ban handguns in San Francisco.
