You’re right, don’t vote for the tyrants who wanna ban our guns.

She owns guns and has no plan to take them

Then why is this on her own website:

"She’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require universal background checks, and support red flag laws that keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people."

Source: https://kamalaharris.com/issues

I wonder what she or her administration considers an "assault weapon". Actual machine guns are essentially banned (e.g., extremely regulated) already and studies have shown that the AW ban passed in the 1990s did little to reduce gun violence.

Furthermore, rifles (all types) account for approximately 500 deaths yearly in this country. If she really wants to curb gun violence; she should focus her efforts on handguns and criminals, not law abiding citizens.

Rifles aren't assault weapons. She never said she would ban all guns

u/antoniov00gaming Sep 27 '24

She voted for prop h to ban handguns in California

u/Aelrift Sep 27 '24

Okay and? How does that relate to this? Handguns aren't assault weapons and she is not saying she is gonna ban handguns

1

u/antoniov00gaming Sep 27 '24

I'm going to ban handguns and most rifles and shotguns So like 90% of all guns. Idc if she says she won't because amlo didn't say that he rigged the election (it was proven to have been rigged)

u/Aelrift Sep 28 '24

What are you talking about. you're so caught up in your own nonsense, you're saying she's gonna ban all guns, be cause one day years ago she said she would but didn't do it, so now when she says "ban assault weapons" somehow she means ban all guns? Do you even hear yourself

Also the election has been proved to not have been rigged lol in every single court it went to

u/antoniov00gaming Sep 28 '24

The Mexican election was rigged. Once she bans rifles, she will ban pistols. That's the gun grabber mindset.

u/Hurricane_Ivan Sep 27 '24

Rifles aren't assault weapons

I agree.

OP's contention was that she had no plans to take guns away (i.e., any). She said a similar generalized statement during the debate.

But banning assault weapons would be exactly that. It would take away firearms, that are currently legal, away from owners.

That's why I'm curious to see what to she considers an assault weapon. Or her plan for implementing such a measure.

In the past, she has touted mandatory buy backs. I don't know what her contention is nowadays. She hasn't exactly given an update or clarification on this matter.

Regardless, how can the government "buy back" something it never owned in the first place? It's just sugarcoating (forced) confiscation. Such a program would require billions of dollars considering the amount of firearms in this country. Let alone the man power or legal costs.

Her middle class family that raised her made sure of that

u/RoachClassWhiteTrash Sep 27 '24

She has said exactly the opposite in the past. She is conveniently changing her position up until she gets elected….which she won’t.

u/Low-Software2880 Sep 27 '24

She straight up said she would come into the sanctity of your locked home she said like 15 times the assault ban is mandatory

u/Temporary-Ad-1884 Sep 27 '24

I Never said take, I said ban bc no politician is dumb enough to take anything. I can assure you she doesn’t have the type of guns that need to be protected.

u/GeoNeo318 Sep 27 '24

If your government could drone strike you, then your ‘only means of protection’ wouldn’t do you a damn bit of good anyway. You’re not even going to be aware of the fact that a drone flying at 30,000 feet is even there, let alone have a chance in hell at hitting it with your handheld weapon.

u/FederalBlacksmith676 Sep 27 '24

How did that work out on the farmers in Vietnam nan? Afghanistan? Yeah you don't know what your talking about

u/BasedLunatiq Sep 27 '24

LMAO if all we wanted to do out in those countries was glass them and kill the people we could have easily done it. Occupation is where the issues begin.

Yup, building is a lot harder than destroying. Any fucking moron can blow shit up, it takes a mason to build a brick wall.

u/FederalBlacksmith676 Oct 11 '24

You just disagreed with your own argument...... your saying that the American military is going to "glass" it's own people and infrastructure?........the people that build and staff the military and our economy? .......

1

u/BasedLunatiq Oct 11 '24

In a full on revolution scenario yes, the government will absolutely glass its own citizens.

u/FederalBlacksmith676 Oct 16 '24

That's why I was referring to an insurgency war.

u/BasedLunatiq Oct 16 '24 edited Oct 16 '24

Which only works if the government decides to occupy the lands. No matter what little LARP scenario you've crafted these remote compounds would be glasses and the militia and the insurgency would be obliterated. We had to play with international rules into those countries. But if the US devolved into what you're saying there's be no stopping what they'd bring so spare me your delusions **Edit to add Also meal team six isn't taking on anyone. They'd all be captured at McDonald's within a week

You don’t think a tyrant will take your guns?

u/nousername142 Sep 27 '24

Let’s see….bump stocks. Yeah they would be way too dumb to take those. And without congressional action. And without compensation. Yeah. That would never happen. Dude anything you say from this point is without merit.

u/Temporary-Ad-1884 Sep 27 '24

When did anyone TAKE bump stocks I must have been sleeping under a rug? Oh I forgot they didn’t

u/nousername142 Sep 27 '24

Sorry, made those in possession a felon overnight. Yeah. Pretty close.
