Kamala Harris would shoot someone if they broke into her home

Vice President Kamala Harris stirred controversy over the weekend after saying she would shoot intruders of her own home.

The 2024 Democratic nominee, a known gun owner, made the remark during a livestreamed conversation with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” she said. While expressing support for the Second Amendment — insisting once again that she is “not trying to take everyone’s guns away” — Harris is advocating for commonsense reform measures such as assault weapon bans and universal background checks.

She quickly acknowledged the bluntness of her comment, adding with a laugh, “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”

During a discussion about gun violence, Winfrey brought up the fact that Harris revealed herself to be a gun owner during the debate against former President Donald Trump on September 10.

“I did not know that,” Winfrey said to laughter from the in-studio audience at the event entitled “Unite for America.”

“If somebody breaks into my house they’re getting shot,” Harris said, laughing, and added: “I probably should not have said that... my staff will deal with that later.”

The Trump War Room account on X attempted to use the moment to mock the vice president by tweeting the video clip.

“Can Kamala describe the make and model of the gun she allegedly owns?” the Trump War Room account later asked.

“And explain why she spent years advocating for door-to-door, mandatory gun confiscation?

“I think for far too long on the issue of gun violence, some people have been pushing a really false choice to suggest you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away,” she added. “I’m in favor of the Second Amendment and I’m in favor of assault weapons bans, universal background checks, red flag laws.”
