“I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety,” Harris, then a California senator, told reporters in Iowa.
Harris’ office declined to share what year she first became a gun owner or any other details about the firearm and her ownership of it.
But she did not run from her values on assault rifles and assault weapons,” the adviser said.
Trump, Harris’ Republican opponent, is also a self-proclaimed gun owner.
Walz, the Minnesota governor and Harris’ running mate, is also a gun owner.
