In recent weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to insulate herself from claims that she would target Second Amendment rights as president. But her own prior statements and actions over the past four years give gun owners reason for alarm.
Since becoming the Democrat nominee, Harris has repeatedly stated that she is "not taking anybody's guns away." In her first solo interview, Harris said that she "supports the Second Amendment," and during her debate with Donald Trump she even claimed that she is a gun owner – raising eyebrows nationwide.
"I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety," she said. "I was a career prosecutor."
