When it comes to gun control, few politicians have been as inconsistent and politically flexible as Vice President Kamala Harris. Whether she’s pushing for stricter gun control or trying to convince Americans she’s on board with the 2nd Amendment, Harris’s track record on guns is riddled with fast flip-flops.
So where does she really stand on the issue? Let’s break it down.
Flip #1: From Assault Weapon Bans to Claiming She’s a Gun Owner
Not long ago, Kamala Harris was one of the most vocal supporters of mandatory gun buyback programs and bans on so-called “assault weapons.” During her 2019 run for president, Harris proposed sweeping gun control measures that included mandatory buybacks of AR-15s and similar firearms, which she once described as “weapons of war.”
But fast forward to 2024, and suddenly Harris is claiming she and her running mate, Tim Walz, are both gun owners. Yes, you read that right. The same Kamala Harris who championed gun buybacks is now saying she’s a gun owner. In a recent debate, she said, “Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anyone’s guns away.”
Wait, what? How did we go from “take away the AR-15s” to “we’re gun owners, too”?
Flip #2: Supporting Mandatory Buybacks, Now Promoting Responsible Ownership?
In 2019, Harris proudly supported mandatory buybacks of so-called “assault weapons,” claiming it was necessary to curb gun violence. She doubled down on the need for strict gun control, voicing support for red flag laws, background checks, and banning high-capacity magazines.
Now, however, Harris claims that she owns a gun for personal safety, saying, “I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety.” This is a pretty surprising shift for someone who was so adamant about confiscating certain firearms. If Harris truly believes in responsible gun ownership, why the sudden change in rhetoric? Could it be political convenience?
Flip #3: The Media’s Role in the Lying Narrative
Let’s be honest—the media has been working overtime to clean up Kamala Harris’s image when it comes to gun control. For years, they’ve covered her calls for mandatory buybacks and her push to ban so-called “assault weapons” as part of a broader narrative of “common-sense gun reform.” But now, when Kamala suddenly claims to be a gun owner, they’re painting her as some sort of responsible 2nd Amendment supporter. Seriously?
The same outlets that once praised her for wanting to take away your AR-15 are now turning a blind eye to her past and pushing the idea that she’s always supported “responsible gun ownership.” The truth is, they’re spinning her newfound gun-owner status to downplay the reality: Kamala Harris has spent her entire political career trying to strip you of your gun rights.
So, why is the media bending over backward to rewrite history? It’s all about protecting their political darling. They know that Harris’s anti-gun past doesn’t sit well with moderate voters, so they’re conveniently leaving out the part where she wanted mandatory gun buybacks. They’re hoping you won’t remember her saying things like, “We should have a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons.”
The media is not just leaving out facts—they’re actively lying about her position, painting Harris as someone who supports responsible gun ownership. This couldn’t be further from the truth. They’ve done everything they can to gloss over her extreme anti-2A past in order to sell her to a broader audience.
Don’t be fooled by the media’s flip-flop. Kamala Harris’s real position on guns hasn’t changed—only the way the media reports on it has.
So, What’s the Real Kamala Harris Stance on Guns?
The real question is: Does Kamala Harris actually support the 2nd Amendment, or is this just another example of political opportunism?
- In 2019, she was all in on gun buybacks, bans, and stricter controls.
- In 2024, she’s trying to convince us that she’s a gun owner and isn’t out to take away anyone’s firearms.
It’s a political balancing act that’s becoming harder to believe. Gun rights advocates and 2nd Amendment supporters should be cautious when listening to Harris’s latest rhetoric. When a politician flip-flops this fast on such a critical issue, it’s a red flag that something doesn’t add up.

Conclusion: Don’t Be Fooled by the Flip-Flops
Kamala Harris’s fast flip-flops on guns are a prime example of political convenience. She’s trying to walk a fine line between appeasing her gun control base while also appealing to moderate voters. But actions speak louder than words, and Harris’s record on gun control is clear: She’s spent years advocating for stricter gun laws and even the confiscation of certain firearms.
So, when you hear Kamala Harris claim she’s a gun owner, remember to look at her past. Her sudden shift on the issue is less about genuine belief in gun rights and more about political survival. Don’t let the flip-flops fool you.
