Vice President Kamala Harris made a controversial statement during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, revealing that she is a gun owner and would shoot anyone who breaks into her home. Harris stated, 'If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,' and later added, 'I probably shouldn’t have said that. My staff will deal with that later.' The comments were made during a discussion on gun violence at a Thursday night campaign event, which has sparked backlash given Harris's advocacy for stricter gun control measures.
