But the hat has also drawn the scorn of critics such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), with the executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action telling the Washington Post that "a camo hat can’t camouflage the fact that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are gun-grabbing radicals who support confiscating firearms from law-abiding hunters and gun owners."
Despite his hunting background, Walz has long advocated for stricter gun laws, and as governor he signed a bill that featured universal background checks and a red-flag law. Vice President Harris has also been a longtime advocate for stronger gun control, including a Rose Garden speech last year in which the vice president called for "passing reasonable gun safety laws."

"I thought it was a great campaign move to cash in on what Walz brings to the campaign, which is this Midwestern sensibility," Newman said. "He’s talked about being a hunter, but then he’s such a staunch advocate for gun control that it’s a great thing to play up for the Democrats."
