“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.
“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.
“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”
The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit “probably…” It’s a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.
This will win over fascist republicans who fuck their guns!
I assume the redditor who wrote the following is aware of actual leftist gun ownership. But I’m certain the average redditor sees “the other side” only thinks of liberals.
I think a lot of right wingers would be surprised to find out how many gun owners and enthusiasts there are on the other side.

The sheer fact that you Americans all talk about having the ability to end someone’s life on a whim like it’s a completely normal and expected ability for someone to have never ceases to blow my fucking mind.
Such casual discussion of shooting someone isn’t normal anywhere else in the Western world. It’s so normalised in your hyper-violent, paranoid, narcissistic culture that none of you realise that to the outside observer you all sound like psychopaths.

As someone who grew up in the US, I remember having a realization one day that I wasn’t ever going to kill anyone. That killing someone was just not a realistic thing to expect to happen at some point. I was in my early 20s lol. This country so ingrains the expectation and necessity of violent interaction. Just a deeply psychopathic nation
This is why I think it’s so funny that the guys at the gun range laugh at me using plain old bullseye targets for practice
I’m not practicing to shoot some random guy busting into my house (a stern talking to and a baseball bat would suffice)
That and I think they’d probably freak if I brought the Klansman target sheets I bought
Still trying to appeal to those mythical undecided republicans for some reason
Democrats—both the politicians and the voters—only dislike Republicans out of jealousy. There’s no difference in values; it’s a difference in presentation. Dems are tired of holding their barbarism in.
Under the Amerikan Hegemony, prospective Warlords-in-chief bragged about their personal and political ability to brutalize individuals and nations. The imperial citizens, as a rule, would not find anything strange with these boasts. In fact, they would cheer them on.
