During a 60 Minutes interview that aired Monday, Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris made clear she owns a semiautomatic handgun and she has fired it.
Harris first began talking about owning a gun during the 2019 Democrat primary season when she received pushback on her gun control agenda and her opposition to teachers being armed for classroom defense.
She alluded to owning a gun again while being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on September 19, 2024. Harris said, “I’m a gun owner…” and Oprah gasped as if it were new news, even though Harris began talking about owning a gun in 2019.
The Hill noted that on 60 Minutes, Harris made clear that her firearm is a semiautomatic Glock handgun. She said she has “had it for quite some time,” and she fired it “at a shooting range.”
The left has increasingly vilified semiautomatic handguns during recent years, especially semiautomatic guns that take detachable magazines. Glock handguns are semiautomatics that take detachable magazines.
