Gun control was one of few issues that ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis didn’t directly bring up during Tuesday’s debate, but Kamala Harris’s 2019 plan to ban so-called “assault weapons” and to mandate gun owners turn them over to the feds in a “buyback” was still referenced on a couple of occasions.
The first was when Davis asked Harris to explain why her positions on so many issues have changed over the past five years, and included Harris’s shift away from a mandatory “buyback” along with other flip-flops on fracking and universal healthcare. Though Harris promised to address every one of the issues Davis spoke of, she neglected to mention her gun ban plans, or why she no longer supposedly supports a compensated confiscation scheme.
Donald Trump brought up Harris’s plan on two occasions, which led to her insisting that “we’re not taking anyone’s guns away” if she and running mate Tim Walz are elected. But that’s exactly what Harris pledged to do five years ago, and neither she nor her campaign have offered a substantive explanation about why she supposedly no longer supports something she declared was a “good idea” during her first run for president.
