One of the more unexpected moments in Harris’ recent political appearances occurred during an ABC News Presidential debate. Harris surprised viewers when she claimed to be a gun owner, a revelation that many found inconsistent with her previous stance on gun control. Her campaign has since tried to reconcile these conflicting positions, insisting she supports the Second Amendment while simultaneously calling for an assault weapons ban.
But it didn’t stop there. Harris’ admission was followed by a peculiar moment during a live streaming event with Oprah Winfrey in Michigan. “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris remarked, laughing, before acknowledging that it might not have been the best comment to make. “I probably should not have said that. My staff will deal with that later,” she added, seemingly aware of the potential backlash.
Trump has not shied away from highlighting the inconsistencies in Harris’ position on guns. In an interview with Breitbart News, the former president directly challenged Harris to clarify what kind of firearm she owns, suggesting that her reluctance to provide specific details is telling. “If she has a gun, she should say what kind of a gun,” Trump stated, adding that the vagueness surrounding her gun ownership raises doubts about her authenticity.
Kamala’s campaign has only fueled speculation by refusing to disclose the specific type of gun she owns. According to a staff member, the firearm in question is small enough to “fit into a purse,” but no further information has been provided. Trump responded by labeling the lack of transparency as “a disgrace,” asserting that it suggests Harris has been dishonest about her relationship with firearms all along.
Many critics, including Trump, believe that Harris’ sudden embrace of gun ownership is little more than a calculated political ploy aimed at winning over voters in swing states. “It was just done because she’s trying to convince people she doesn’t want to confiscate guns,” Trump remarked. His comments reflect a growing sentiment that Harris is trying to straddle both sides of the gun control debate, attempting to appeal to moderates while not alienating her progressive base.
Harris’ history of supporting gun control is well-documented. Long before her national political career, she championed gun restrictions as San Francisco’s District Attorney. In 2005, she backed Proposition H, a controversial ballot measure that would have banned San Francisco residents from owning handguns. Though the measure passed, it was eventually overturned by the California Supreme Court.
With her presidential campaign now in full swing, Harris faces mounting pressure to clarify where she truly stands on gun rights. For someone who has spent much of her career advocating for stricter gun control, her sudden pivot to claiming personal gun ownership is being met with skepticism. Trump’s call for transparency on what type of firearm Harris owns has only amplified the scrutiny she faces on this issue.

As the 2024 election approaches, Harris will have to reconcile her past advocacy for strict gun control with her current attempt to appear more moderate on the issue. Whether she can successfully navigate this political tightrope remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: voters are paying attention, and they want answers.
In a political climate where authenticity matters, Harris’ evasion of simple questions about her own gun ownership could come back to haunt her. As Trump aptly pointed out, “It means she’s been lying about guns,” a charge that, if it sticks, could undermine her credibility with voters on both sides of the gun debate.
