The recent presidential debate was a disappointment for those hoping for a fair and equal treatment of both candidates, as Vice President Kamala Harris of California, unchecked by ABC News, fed the American people lie after lie.
The biggest thing? She respects the Second Amendment. She is not They're going after your guns. She has and she will continue to do so. Vice President Kamala Harris cannot be trusted with your Second Amendment rights.
Her empty claims are not merely political duplicity, they are outright false. Her record, her statements, and the policies endorsed by the DNC all point to one undeniable truth: if elected, she would try to take guns away from law-abiding citizens.

American gun owners cannot stand by silently while this threat to our freedoms looms. We must take a firm stance against it.
Harris wants you to believe she is one of us, a gun owner, someone who fully understands our fundamental American right to bear arms, but don't be fooled by her use of a handgun as a prop.
In the discussion meeting, She declared“Tim Walz and I are gun owners. We're not taking away anyone's guns, so stop with the lies.” Now, let me tell you about the lies, Mr. Vice President. Harris stood there with a straight face, appeasing millions of law-abiding gun owners, while plotting to confiscate our firearms. This isn't just a “plot.” She's done it before.
As California's attorney general and congresswoman, Harris has spoken out about taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. Whenever Harris had the opportunity to defend gun rights, she sided with restrictions, not freedoms. She champion She supports policies that would chip away at the Second Amendment. Like her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a gun control advocate, these policies are designed to erode the Second Amendment, and Harris knows it. (Related: NRA Defeats Biden's ATF)
Let us not forget the statements she made earlier, which she is now trying to retract in an effort to appear more moderate. At her first presidential rally, Harris said“We will finally pass universal background checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban because we believe all Americans should have the freedom to live safe from the fear of gun violence,” she said in an unequivocal statement at the time.
Her vision of America is one in which the right to self-defense is suppressed through the abuse of government power.
Don't take my word for it, see what's going on Her campaign websiteHarris supports gun bans, gun registration, and red flag laws that strip gun owners of their rights without due process. She wants to take gun manufacturers to court, hold them responsible for any misuse of their products, force them into bankruptcy, and make it harder to buy a gun.
Let me be very clear: Kamala Harris does not have the power to redefine the Second Amendment. She does not have the power to decide what rights you have and what rights you do not have. Our ancestors They wrote“The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Yet she seeks to trample that right in a misguided attempt to improve public safety.
That cannot be tolerated.
This fight isn't just about guns. It's a fight to protect the foundations of our freedoms. For almost 250 years, this country has thrived under a government that existed to protect individual rights, but far-left politicians like Kamala Harris are ready to give up individual rights to free America from terror. As if that's even possible. And if you think, “Well, that's just a right,” consider how Harris and President Joe Biden have spent the past four years attacking free speech, ostensibly to protect America.
Don't be fooled by Kamala Harris' clever deception. If American gun owners want to protect their constitutional right to bear arms, they must continue to fight Harris and politicians like her. And they must say clearly to anyone who tries to take away our guns: “It won't happen during our term.”
