Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign admitted Friday that her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz “misspoke” about his past military service as a growing chorus of critics accuse him of “stolen valor.”

“Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American’s service to this country — in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It’s the American way,” Team Harris said in a statement to NBC News Friday.

“In making the case for why weapons of war should never be on our streets or in our classrooms, the Governor misspoke. He did handle weapons of war and believes strongly that only military members trained to carry those deadly weapons should have access to them, unlike Donald Trump and JD Vance who prioritize the gun lobby over our children.”

9mm pistols and 12 gauge shotguns were "weapons of war" as well.  So to are single-shot, bolt action rifles.

That "weapons of war" logic would ban them too.

For that matter, there is a wide variety of sharp pointy things and blunt objects which have been 'weapons of war' as well. At some point, humanity may well be back to using them.
