Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have a big problem with hot-blooded American men and the Second Amendment. In a desperate effort to gain support for the former and pseudo-support for the latter, Walz donned an orange hat and posed for a hunting-themed photo shoot near Sleepy Eye, Minn., on Saturday.

Walz's attempt to rehabilitate his public image backfired, especially after footage appeared online showing the Democratic governor struggling with a firearm.

Trump War Room, referring to cable news footage from outing
noticed“MSNBC is insinuating that Tim Walz going pheasant hunting is nothing more than a desperate attempt to gain support from male voters. Sorry, Tim, men are voting for gun grabbers. Not that there is.”
The Harris-Waltz campaign has an important base to regain support among male voters in the final weeks before the election.
Recent New York Times/Siena College
public opinion poll revealed that 51% of likely male voters said they would vote for Trump. Only 40% of men said they would vote for Kamala Harris. This gender gap is most pronounced in battleground states like Arizona and Nevada, where a recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll shows that a majority of Hispanic men are eager to vote for Trump.
Immigration appears to be a top concern for many male voters who would currently support Trump, but Harris and Walz's history on gun rights may also be alienating men.
“In my opinion, the hunting community will vote for someone who puts America first.”

Harris has previously threatened to raid the homes of law-abiding Americans and conduct firearm searches. Supported a handgun ban without buybacks. He signed a court brief justifying a total ban on handguns and suggesting that the Second Amendment protects “collective” or “militia-related” rights, not individual rights.

But in recent years, he's become an avid anti-gun activist and proudly earns his living. Straight “F” rating only and publicly explosion He said the NRA is “the single biggest obstacle to passing the most basic measures to prevent gun violence in America.”
Since then, Walz has touted his efforts to ban bump stocks and assault rifles and his fight to stop concealed carry reciprocity. Mr. Waltz in June
ratified Law prohibiting the use of binary triggers. Last year he ratified A number of gun control measures, including universal background checks and red flag laws.
Although Walz's photo shoots seem to have done little to gain support from hunters and conservationists, critics are unlikely to forget his record or Harris's.
Gabriella Hoffman, director of the Energy and Conservation Center at the Independent Women's Forum, said:
said A spectator said, “A $40 camouflage hat won't convince most athletes or women that Harris Waltz represents them.”
“Vice President Harris has actively worked with President Biden in an administration most hostile to access to shooting sports, hunting, and fishing. Co-signed the closure of public hunting lands, bans lead tackle, the National Wildlife Refuge, and recently closed shooting sports opportunities throughout Bears Ears National Monument (1.3 million acres).” Mr. Hoffman said. “Hunters and anglers don’t trust the Harris Waltz.”
“They've made it clear they're coming for guns, fracking, gas-powered cars, just to name a few,” said Derek Wolf, host of the outdoorsman podcast “Wolf Untamed.” “We know 10 million hunters aren't like that.” They're reaching out because they voted in the last election, but it's a waste of time because I think the hunting community will vote for someone who will put America first, and I think that person is Donald J. Trump. I believe that. ”
