During an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Vice President Kamala Harris made a comment in jest about shooting any intruder who breaks into her home. The comment came as Winfrey expressed surprise at learning that Harris is a gun owner during a previous presidential debate. Harris, who resides in the heavily protected Naval Observatory residence in Washington as vice president, later joked that her staff will have to deal with her statement. The exchange occurred during a discussion on gun control, with Harris expressing support for strengthening background checks and reinstating a federal assault weapons ban. She emphasized that she is not trying to take everyone’s guns away and believes in the Second Amendment. Harris also recounted holding town halls where she asked students about their experience with active shooter drills, revealing the prevalence of such drills in schools. The interview with Winfrey was part of a livestream town hall event featuring the Democratic nominee. Harris’s comments on gun control and personal safety shed light on her views and experiences with gun ownership and the urgent need for common sense gun control measures.
