On Sunday, Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she wants some guns banned and supports pre-crime firearm confiscation, yet she still claimed to be pro-Second Amendment. Harris wrote, “It is a false choice to suggest you are either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away.” She continued, “I am in favor of the Second Amendment — and I am in favor of an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and red flag laws.”

At least four people have been killed and 18 injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, police say. “Multiple shooters fired multiple shots on a group of people” late on Saturday in the Five Points South area of the city, Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said. Officers found the bodies of two men and one woman at the scene, while a third man later died of bullet wounds in hospital, Birmingham Police said. The culprits are believed to have approached the scene in a vehicle before getting out and opening fire. No suspects have been arrested.

US Vice-President Kamala Harris has spoken of her willingness to use her gun if an intruder entered her home. "If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot," she said in a jokey exchange during a livestreamed event in Michigan with host Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. After a laugh, the Democratic presidential nominee continued: "I probably shouldn't have said that, but my staff will deal with that later." Harris, who highlighted during the recent presidential debate that she was a gun-owner, went on to reiterate that she supported a ban on assault weapons. A firearm of that type was "literally...

CNN — Kamala Harris’ revelation at the most recent presidential debate that she is a gun owner caught some viewers by surprise – the vice president has said relatively little over the years about her personal experience of owning a firearm. Responding to Donald Trump’s warning that Harris “wants to confiscate your guns,” the Democratic nominee fired back: “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.” And Thursday night, Harris suggested to Oprah Winfrey at a virtual campaign event in Michigan that she would...

Unearthed footage of Kamala reveals the extent of her anti-gun radicalism: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.” If she is elected, RIP 2A.

Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not be taking away anyone’s guns then immediately pushed an AR-15 ban during a Tuesday question-and-answer with reporters at the National Association of Black Journalists. Harris said, “I am a gun owner, and Tim Walz is a gun owner, and we’re not trying to take anyone’s guns away from them, but we do need an ‘assault weapons’ ban.” t appears that such a ban — if it were actually a ban — would take AR-15- and AK-47-style rifles away from the law-abiding Americans who currently own them

On September 9, 2024, the Kamala Harris campaign released a sparse set of policies less than two days before the presidential debate. The debate was held on September 10, with former President and leading presidential candidate Donald Trump. According to the British left-wing paper, the Guardian, the posting of policy positions came after criticism about the lack of policy specifics. During the debate, Kamala Harris claimed she was a gun owner and she would never take anyone’s guns. However, in her campaign policy statement, candidate Harris says she will ban “assault weapons.” While “assault weapons” is a political, Orwellian term...

Gaining titles like Uncle Ted, The Nuge, and Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent gained stardom thanks to his guitar skills and energetic concerts. But outside of the studio, Nugent is extremely outspoken when it comes to his beliefs about religion and politics. Although two hot topics that many celebrities tend to run from, Nugent appeared to welcome the conversation, refusing to apologize for his thoughts or beliefs. And recently, the singer took aim at Pearl Jam after the band used his song “Stranglehold” as an anthem for gun violence. On September 12th, Pearl Jam traveled to Maryland for a concert...

Pearl Jam put their own spin on Ted Nugent’s 1975 single “Stranglehold,” changing the lyrics to make it an anti-gun anthem. The moment took place during Pearl Jam’s concert in Baltimore on Thursday, Sept. 12. Roughly halfway through their set, guitarist Mike McCready launched into “Stranglehold”’s familiar opening riff. Frontman Eddie Vedder then joined in, emphatically singing: “I don’t own a gun, I don’t ever want to own a gun / I don’t own a gun, never want to own a gun.” After repeating variations of the phrase several times, the tones of “Stanglehold” faded out. Pearl Jam soon launched...

Kamala Harris is highlighting a little-known aspect of her biography - the fact that she is a gun owner - to stake out ground on the issue of firearms control. After Donald Trump claimed during their presidential debate on Tuesday that she would "confiscate everybody's gun" if elected, Harris replied that both she and running mate Tim Walz own guns. "We’re not taking anyone’s guns away, so stop with the continuous lying about this stuff," she said. Gun control remains among the most contentious issues in American politics but has largely taken a backseat to other policy areas this election.

I have a Gamo 1000 fps .177 caliber air rifle that I am using to teach my grandson to shoot. I bought Daisy pellets for ammo and I think that they are a bad batch because I can't get a consistent grouping. I am at best 12 inch groups at 20 yards. I am looking for recommendations for good quality pellets.

An officer was flagged down by a woman and she advised me that she was scared for her life. Her son, Matthew, goes by Matilda. Who lives with her, threatened her the previous day by telling her he would k*** her with a knife. Matthew had called her and advised that he was returning to her house that morning, and she was scared. Melaney also advised that Matthew began stabbing the floor and had thrown things at her. While the officer was talking to mom, her son Matthew began calling her. Officer was then available to speak with Matthew. Matthew...

Hi Freepers, Anyone have "inside contacts" in the Trump organization? I believe that, if Kamala wins, the Biden/Harris admin will immediately on NOVEMBER 6 begin passing Executive Orders to limit and confiscate firearms possession and purchases. Trump NEEDS to talk about this NOW. Many gun owners are not registered to Vote. This might get them out and VOTING!!

N.T Wright says Americans’ defense of gun rights is inconsistent with their defense of the unborn, because they are too polarized by social media, they accept “over-simplified” arguments to fall in line with a particular leader, they can’t handle “nuance,” and ultimately, they just aren’t an “educated electorate.” But does this sound like a nuanced, educated take on gun laws? “When I go to America, it always astonishes me that the same people are vitriolically opposed to abortion and vitriolically in favor of everybody carrying guns and being prepared to shoot people at any time. On the one hand, you’d...

Colt Gray was given the gun he used to shoot dead four people at his Georgia high school as a Christmas present from his father months after they were questioned by the FBI over alleged threats. The 14-year-old was arrested on Wednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, minutes after authorities say he opened fire on students and teachers. Law enforcement sources told CNN Thursday that the teenage shooter received the gun for the holidays this past December. His father Colin Gray has told authorities that he bought the gun for the boy himself as a Christmas gift. Colin Gray...

The family of Georgia school shooter Colt Gray threatened to go 'full throttle' after the 14-year-old was charged as an adult for murdering four people on Wednesday. Gray's relatives leapt to his defense within hours of him opening fire at Apalachee High School, where he allegedly killed four people and injured nine others. The teenager's aunt, Annie Polhamus Brown, took to Facebook during the aftermath, bringing up the issues he 'dealt with' and saying she 'will take care of my nephew and what he needs on this side.' 'Just check yourself before you speak about a child that never asked...

A gunman shot up pro-Trump pastor Greg Locke's home while one of his children was inside. The Nashville pastor and founder of Global Vision Bible Church shared confronting pictures from the aftermath of the incident in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He revealed one of the bullets 'cut through the headboard of our youngest daughter's bed and lodged in her pillow.' Locke and his family pulled into their driveway 'exactly one minute after a madman unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon into our house, garage and my truck.' The incident was caught on security camera...

My stance on the Second Amendment is simple: I’m not going to take anyone’s guns away. I believe in the Constitution. But Americans need to work together to figure out why we have mass shootings every 21 hours. Something changed around the time of the Columbine shootings in 1999, and it wasn’t the number of guns in America. The National Institutes of Health refuses to investigate the mystery; in fact, Congress prohibits the NIH from researching the cause of mass shootings. Under my administration, that rule ends — and our kids’ safety becomes a top priority.
