Debate reminded voters Harris owns a gun but not of her position on gun rights

During Tuesday’s presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris revealed a fact about herself that is perhaps surprising to some: She is a gun owner. That was nearly the only mention of guns at the debate, however, leaving some still confused about what her legislative stance on guns is.

As a presidential candidate, Harris has disavowed her previous stance calling for a gun buyback but has remained firm on her support for red flag laws and a ban on assault weapons. On the debate stage, Harris rejected former President Donald Trump’s claim that she supports taking away weapons from gun owners, saying she and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), are gun owners.
