Kamala Harris Tells Oprah She Would Shoot Intruders, Sparking Backlash
Sep 20, 2024, 01:45 AM
Vice President Kamala Harris made a controversial statement during an event with Oprah Winfrey, revealing that she is a gun owner and stating, 'If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.' Harris added, 'I probably shouldn’t have said that. My staff will deal with that later.' The remarks were made while discussing gun violence and school shootings. Harris's comments have sparked backlash, particularly given her advocacy for stricter gun control measures, including an assault weapons ban. Oprah expressed surprise at Harris's admission of gun ownership. Harris also mentioned that Tim Walz is a gun owner and emphasized the need for 'common sense' in addressing gun violence.
