Harris says anyone breaking into her home is ‘getting shot’

US Vice-President Kamala Harris has spoken of her willingness to use her **** if an intruder entered her home.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” she said in a jokey exchange during a livestreamed event in Michigan with host Oprah Winfrey on Thursday.

After a laugh, the Democratic presidential nominee continued: “I probably shouldn’t have said that, but my staff will deal with that later.”

Harris, who highlighted during the recent presidential debate that she was a ****-owner, went on to reiterate that she supported a ban on ******** weapons.

A firearm of that type was “literally designed to be a tool of war”, she told Winfrey. “It has no place on the streets of a civil society.”

Asked by Winfrey to confirm if she had been a **** owner for “a while” herself, Harris replied that she had.

She stressed that she was was a supporter of the US Second Amendment, which protects the right to **** ownership.

But she went on to set out her case for a ban on ******** weapons, citing America’s problem with school shootings.

It was “bone-chilling” for a child to have to go through a drill for such an incident, Harris said. “It doesn’t have to be this way,” she added.

After one of the most recent US mass shootings, a 14-year-old boy has been charged with murdering four people at a high school in Georgia.

During Thursday’s event with Winfrey – who also spoke at last month’s Democratic National Convention – Harris was also questioned on topics including immigration and the economy.

Celebrities including Jennifer Lopez featured in the session, which was watched by about 300,000 people.

Harris’s **** ownership has been a matter of public record since 2019, when she said: “I own a **** for probably the reason a lot of people do – for personal safety. I was a career prosecutor.”

But her ownership came to the attention of many in the US – including Winfrey, by her admission – during last week’s presidential head-to-head with *********** rival Donald Trump. It marked the first time the issue had come up in a 2024 debate.

Harris denied a Trump claim that she would “confiscate everybody’s ****” if elected to the White House, pointing out that both she and her running-mate Tim Walz, a hunting enthusiast, had firearms of their own.

Trump, too, has also owned three guns, though he had to surrender two of them and face restrictions on the third after facing ********* charges in New York.

Harris’s opponents have increasingly seized on the **** issue as indicative of her shifting policy positions as her November showdown with Trump approaches.

Last week’s ABC News debate moderator noted that Harris no longer supported a “buyback” programme that would force **** owners to hand over their AR-15s and other ********-style weapons to the government.

But Harris reiterated to Winfrey on Thursday that she wanted tighter laws.

The Democrat also outlined her stance at a recent rally in North Carolina, saying: “We who believe in the freedom to live safe from **** ********* will finally pass an ******** weapons ban, universal background checks and red-flag laws.”

So-called red-flag laws allow people to apply to a judge to confiscate another person’s **** if they are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others.
