Kamala Harris says she supports the 2nd Amendment and an assault weapons ban

Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated that she supports the Second Amendment and gun control.

"I am in favor of the Second Amendment—and I'm also in favor of an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws. We can do both," a tweet on the @KamalaHarris X account reads.

Florida state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R) was one of the many people who pushed back against Harris' comments. "A venn diagram would say you're contradicting yourself," he tweeted. Harris has said that she loves Venn diagrams.

Someone else who replied to Harris' post asserted, "Those are mutually exclusive position statements. Do better."

"Oxymoron from a total moron," another person wrote.

The Second Amendment states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

While delivering remarks last week, Harris had said that some individuals present a "false choice" by suggesting that people either support the Second Amendment or want to confiscate guns. She then went on to say that she supports the Second Amendment and is also is in favor of policies that include red flag laws, universal background checks, and an assault weapons ban.

Harris is slated to go on a tour next year to promote pro-choice ideology.

"During the Vice President's reproductive freedoms tour, she will host events that highlight the harm caused by these abortion bans while sharing stories of those who have been impacted," a press release states. "Vice President Harris will also hold extremists accountable for proposing a national abortion ban, call on Congress to restore the protections of Roe, and outline steps the Administration is taking to protect access to health care. Additionally, she will urge attendees to use their voices and stay engaged in the fight for fundamental freedoms."
