"If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot." (Original Post) sarisataka Sep 2024 OP
Does this mean I can say I'm a gun owner now??? nt yagotme Sep 2024 #1
If even she doesn't even own a gun, it's totally fair for her to say that if it helps her win. n/t brewens Sep 2024 #2
It is best she does sarisataka Sep 2024 #4
So, she should lie to the American public??? Would it be OK for her to lie about anything else?? nt yagotme Sep 2024 #11
My guess is she owns a revolver. If revolvers were all people had, we wouldn't have a big gun problem, especially Silent Type Sep 2024 #3

The majority of gun-humpers like semi-auto rifles too. It's a big ego boost for gunners to strap a 1911 to your body Silent Type Sep 2024 #7
... what kind of ammosexual is she? sarisataka Sep 2024 #8
She's not an ammosexual, just a gun humper. yagotme Sep 2024 #12
Ope, my bad sarisataka Sep 2024 #13
But, if she's lying about it, did she really commit it? yagotme Sep 2024 #14
I assume that is a rhetorical question sarisataka Sep 2024 #15

to show that owning a gun does not instantly make a person a monster. It drags those slurs, of which I mentioned some, out into the daylight to show they are just hateful rhetoric.

Some of us have both. Harris has not given any detail what she has or how she may carry.

As for "toting" since a prosecutor can be accosted at any time, I would be mildly surprised if she did not have a California carry permit. Such a permit would allow her to carry a firearm to some degree in 35 states. (She has said she does not have a gun in DC as they have no reciprocity)

and strut out the door like Kyle Rittenhouse.

I don't see her being that kind of ammosexual.

I mean, lying to the electorate, or owning a gun, which is the greater sin?

My best friend is a retired prosecutor and she always had a carry permit. I would venture a guess that it is a common practice. I'll have to ask her.

When a man acknowledges that he owns a gun, he's affirming his manhood.
