Many of us are old enough to remember Mike Dukakis's disastrous outing in a tank during the 1988 campaign, which is still to this day generally regarded as the big turning point that led to Dukakis losing the election. He looked ridiculous, it was patently a campaign stunt, and he paid the price for it.Over at RealClearPolitics, scribe Shane Harris has made the interesting speculation that Kamala Harris' "Glock moment" may well be the same kind of misstep. But there's one big difference.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ comments about owning a “Glock” are proving to be,

No conservative gun person is going to accept that the cackler is now a friend of firearms.
Ironically, she might actually lose some of her liberal supporters by bragging that she owns a frightening instrument of death.

90%+ probability she lied and doesn't have a gun at all.
Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.

Will it be a Dukakis moment? No, because the mainstream media will not cover anything that might embarrass her.

My guess - someone told her that her SS protectors carry Glocks and that’s the only reason she even knows the name.

I might be open to believing her if she had specified the gun the way gun owners refer to them. Like maybe, "Yes, a Glock 9 millimeter" or "a Glock Ten, its weight is a little less than a 45, but it's got more than enough stopping power for personal protection." Her answer, including the tone of voice and pace of pauses, practically reeks of dishonesty.

Show us your Glock. Where do you keep it?
Have you fired it in the last five years?
Can you demonstrate loading and firing it safely?
Can you hit a barn, from inside the barn?

More like John FFFFFFF Kerry and his, "Imma get me a gun" moment.

If only Warren Zevon were still alive -
Kamala's got a Glock,
Humming Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band,
In a world of whispers, she takes a stand,
With polyvinylchloride gripped tight in her hand.
Shadows cast by the power she’s shown,
But she’s Obama’s little puppet, with no voice of her own.

Don't be surprised if she has a photo op with a Glock. Maybe she will have Obama's real birth certificate too. If there is one.

#7, a small correction; the idiot walked into a bait shop and asked, "Can I git me a huntin' license here?"

Are gun registrations public records? I am guessing not since it would be all over the internet if someone actually found it.

She's talking about Willie Brown's glock.

What's worse, according to the author, she also made a comment about "flipping off the safety;" however, Glocks, like most striker fired handguns, don't have a frame or slide mounted manual safety like the Baretta 92 series, many Colt autoloaders, and all 1911 style .45s. It has a tiny "trigger safety" that must be depressed by the trigger finger, prior to squeezing off a round. She probably stands in front of a mirror, holding her "finger gun" sideways, like her gangbanger friends, cackling like a common loon.

#14 - Kamalalala didn't make that comment. The author was quoting some other lefty loony lady.
