Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had their first presidential debate against one another on Tuesday night. While there were many surprising moments, one stands out above all the rest.

Trump spent much of the debate trying to highlight the fact that Harris has been trying to distance herself from her radically liberal stances recently. Indeed, since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has been trying to portray herself as a moderate.

Harris has done this despite openly holding far-left stances throughout the entirety of her political career. Trump wanted to remind voters of this with one attack in particular. Harris’ response, however, left everyone stunned.

From Fox News:
“She has a plan to defund the police. She has a plan to confiscate everybody’s gun. She planned to allow fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else,” Trump said. “That’s what her plan is, until just recently.”

In response later, however, Harris shot back – and revealed she and Walz own guns.

“I’ve made very clear my position on fracking and then this business about taking everyone’s guns away,” Harris said. “Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anybody’s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”

What?!

After how anti-gun Harris and President Joe Biden have been since they came to power, it’s safe to say that nobody saw this one coming.

Harris’ campaign later alleged that the vice president owns a handgun that she bought “years ago.” She reportedly keeps it locked away in an attempt to be a responsible gun owner.

Walz also took to social media to back up Harris’ claim about each of them owning guns.

“We’re not going to take away your Second Amendment rights — we’re going to prevent your kids from getting shot at school,” he added.

Harris Supported A Mandatory Gun Buyback Program

Nevertheless, social media users were left shocked by the prospect that Harris would actually own a gun. After all, during her failed presidential campaign in 2019, Harris was outspoken about calling for a mandatory gun buyback program.

“We have to have a buyback program. And I support a mandatory buyback program,” Harris said in a 2019 clip that was shared by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

🚨Kamala Harris wouldn’t comment on her support for confiscating guns from law-abiding Americans.

But we have the tape⬇️

The NRA wants to ensure that pro-Second Amendment American voters are not fooled by Harris’ claims about her gun ownership.

“Kamala Harris is an existential threat to the Second Amendment,” the NRA wrote on social media.

It should be noted that just four days before the debate, Harris was calling for an assault weapons ban.

“We must pass an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws,” she said on September 6.

This is all very typical of Harris. She has long shown that she is a sleazy career politician who will do and say anything just to get elected. Harris has flip-flopped on a laundry list of issues, frequently taking whatever stance is most advantageous to her at any given moment.

The reality is that while Harris is trying to appear like a moderate now, she will likely return to enacting her own radically liberal agenda if she wins this election. We can only hope that Americans see through her nonsense when it comes to guns and every other issue. In the end, nothing Kamala Harris says can ever be trusted.

Key Takeaways: 

• Trump claims Harris wants to take everyone’s guns.
• Harris alleges that she’s a gun owner.
• Harris is trying to pretend to be a moderate, but she’s a radical liberal.
