…She also reiterated that she and Walz are gun owners and believe that they can respect the second amendment while pushing for and implementing long-asked-for policies like a ban on so-called assault weapons and universal background checks on gun purchases. “We are not taking anybody’s guns away,” she said.

“I feel very strongly that it’s consistent with the second amendment to say we need an assault weapons ban. They’re literally tools of war they were literally designed to kill a lot of people quickly.”

Harris also promoted her economic plan, which she says is heavily based on her middle class upbringing. “We have ambitions and aspirations, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that help them fuel the aspirations and ambitions,” she said. Harris says that if elected, she will expand the child tax credit and offer parents $6,000 for the first year of their child’s life, raise the tax break for small businesses from $5,000 to $50,000 and give first-time homebuyers $25,000 in assistance.
