Vice President Kamala Harris said she supports the Second Amendment and attacked Former President Donald Trump’s 2022 comments on “termination” of Constitutional rules during an interview posted on Monday.

Harris joined NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharp on his podcast Club Shay Shay for a wide-ranging interview. When asked why she thought some Black men support Trump, Harris pivoted to a broader question of his viability as a candidate. She argued she supports the Constitution, including the Second Amendment, while Trump has said its rules should be undone.

“The question for everybody: should he be president of the United States, right? That’s the question,” Harris said. “Should he have the ability to sit behind the Seal of the President of the United States when he says he wants to terminate the Constitution of the United States? You know what that would mean? In the Constitution of the United States is your Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure, your Fifth Amendment right, your Sixth Amendment right to an attorney.”

“Well, a lot of rights going to be gone,” Shannon Sharp said. “The First Amendment…”

“The First Amendment, the Second Amendment,” Harris responded. “Look, I’m in favor of the Second Amendment. I don’t believe we should be taking anybody’s guns away. He wants to terminate the Constitution of the United States.”

The comments reiterating her current opposition to gun confiscation come just a week out from Election Day. They are part of a broader attempt to counter Trump’s attacks on her gun record and paint him as a danger to the country. With few persuadable voters left in what polls indicate is a tight race, which candidate most voters believe could determine the outcome.

Harris was attacking a post Trump made on his social media site Truth Social during December 2022. Two years after he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, Trump took to his platform to say the election should be overturned due to false allegations of mass voter fraud. He suggested even the Constitution could be disregarded in an effort to declare himself the winner of the previous election or force a new election.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump posted. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Gun policy remained relatively far down the list of top issues in the 2024 election. Still, Harris has taken time to talk up her gun ownership in an attempt to convince voters she won’t come for theirs, as Trump has repeatedly said.

“She has a plan to confiscate everybody’s gun,” Trump said during their debate.

“This business about taking everyone’s guns away; Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anyone’s guns away,” Harris responded a few minutes later. “So, stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”

However, Harris has supported several confiscation efforts over her career. In 2019, she backed banning new sales of “assault weapons,” including the popular AR-15, and forcing current owners to sell their guns to the government.

“We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program,” she said at an October 2019 forum.

But her campaign quickly walked back that support when she took over the top of the Democratic ticket in July.

“Correct, the VP will not push for a mandatory buy back as president,” Lauren Hitt, a Harris spokesperson, told The Reload in July. “She has expressed support for red flag laws, universal background checks and an assault weapons ban.”

Similarly, Harris backed a 2005 ballot initiative as San Francisco District Attorney that would have banned possession of handguns for nearly all city residents. A state court eventually struck it down for exceeding the city’s authority. However, a year later, she told the Commonwealth Club of California that the measure was unlikely to survive a court battle.

“In a city like San Francisco, with our history, is there any justification for anyone to carry a gun, except for law enforcement, and why not ban them completely in the city?” moderator Mary Cranston asked Harris in audio first published by The Washington Free Beacon.

“Well, there’s been a measure on the ballot actually to do that, and it’s currently being challenged,” Harris replied, “and there’s a question about its constitutionality because, of course, the Constitution of the United States says that we do have a right to legally possess firearms.”

Harris then jokingly compared banning all guns to ending world hunger, implying it wasn’t realistic.

“It’d be great to end world hunger and a couple other things, too,” Harris said. “Are we going to really be able to get rid of people owning and possessing guns? I don’t know. I don’t think we’re anywhere close to that right now. So, I would not, like, put all my effort into that as being the solution because I think it’s a long way off.”

About a year later, she signed onto a Supreme Court brief defending Washington, DC’s similar ban.

Trump has also advocated policies that upset some Second Amendment advocates. In the wake of the 2019 Parkland shooting, he told a group of lawmakers, “Take the guns first, go through due process second” when discussing possible legislation. In August, he renewed calls for giving police more leeway to “stop and frisk, and take their gun away” when dealing with people they suspect of being criminals.

Still, gun groups are equally split between the two candidates. Every gun-control group to endorse in the race has baked Harris. Meanwhile, every gun-rights group has backed Trump.
