As a fervent supporter of Kamala Harris, I find her unwavering commitment to her beliefs and principles truly inspiring. Her recent revelation about owning a Glock semi-automatic handgun might seem paradoxical to some, given her staunch advocacy for gun control. However, it’s this very complexity that makes her an intriguing figure.
Previously, Vice President Kamala Harris has acknowledged owning a firearm, an unexpected fact considering her views on guns. She’s shared that the weapon she possesses is a handgun, but she hadn’t disclosed before what make or model it is. In her latest interview with 60 Minutes, she provided more information about this gun of hers.
Kamala Harris reveals what kind of gun she owns
60 Minutes’ interview with Kamala Harris revealed that she owns a Glock semi-automatic handgun, which she has fired at a shooting range before. She’s had this firearm for quite some time now. (Paraphrased)
Harris openly admitted to being a firearm owner throughout her tenure as a U.S. Senator and later during her 2020 presidential campaign. She clarified that she acquired the handgun primarily for reasons concerning personal safety.
On September 19, 2024, during a campaign event alongside Oprah Winfrey, Harris made a joke about home intruders, saying, “If someone breaks into my house, they’re met with a firm response.” However, this light-hearted comment raised eyebrows due to Harris’s advocacy for stricter gun control measures.
Some of the measures she supports are:
- Nationwide mandatory buyback for “assault-style weapons.”
- Universal background checks on all gun sales, private or commercial.
- Expanded red flag laws.
- Ban “high-capacity” magazines.
Additionally, she’s made clear that if she becomes president, she would grant Congress a 100-day period to approve a broad gun control legislation. If they fail to do so, she intends to utilize executive actions to achieve this goal instead.
In the 60 Minutes interview, Harris didn’t disclose the specific model of Glock she possesses. Given that the Glock 19 is the company’s top-selling model, it’s statistically plausible that she owns this one or its bigger version, the Glock 17.
