Tuesday 9/10 Presidential Debate Megathread!
Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.
Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...
It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!
Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

"i'm a gun owner, we're not taking guns away." strongest opinion from a democrat i've heard on this topic.
I mean, she grew up in Oakland...
(I'm bay area born and raised IYKYK)
If only this was really true. She owns a handgun, but supports an “assault weapons” ban, and supports mandatory gun buybacks. Which is literally coming for your gun and preventing people from buying new ones.
Best case scenario is she does nothing or expands background checks, the rest will hopefully be stopped by the supreme court and local police refusing to follow unconstitutional orders.

Sounds like a pretty reasonable stance.
If only she did not have a long and documented history of supporting much more than this, weapons bans, mandatory buyback programs. Just because she is feeding us the slop now does not change the fact I can watch the video where she said she wants to have a buyback program.

Red flag laws break due process, universal background checks are in place, assault weapons bans are literally gun grabbing
Trump has said he’d break due process when it comes to guns before too. I guess if easy gun access is your goal then neither option looks great.
Trump is bad for gun owners too, it’s a shame America has two god awful choices.
Only one is god awful. The other is decent. Not perfect, but decent.
She’s bad, not decent, nowhere near perfect.
Trump is the only president to ever say he would take guns from Americans and he even said to do it without due process.
Didn’t say I liked Trump either. Both are going to be gun grabbers in one way or another, except one of them will hopefully follor the process and get stricken down in the courts.
