Vice President Kamala Harris has sparked controversy with her recent comments on gun ownership and self-defense. During an event with Oprah Winfrey, Harris revealed that she is a gun owner and stated, 'If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.' She acknowledged that she probably should not have made the statement and added that her staff would handle any fallout. The remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with some praising her stance on self-defense and others criticizing her for being insensitive, especially given her previous support for stricter gun control measures. Harris made these comments while discussing school shootings and mentioned that Tim Walz is also a gun owner.
