Oprah shocked to find out Kamala Harris is a gun owner
Vice President Kamala Harris shocked Oprah Winfrey Thursday night by saying she would shoot any intruders that came into her home — an attempt to reassure gun owners skeptical of the Democratic presidential nominee.
“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry,” Harris, 59, said during the star-studded “Unite for America” livestreamed rally hosted by Winfrey.“Probably should not have said that,” Harris said as the audience laughed. “But my staff will deal with that later.” As vice president, Harris enjoys Secret Service protection and lives under guard on the grounds of the US Naval Observatory in northwest Washington DC.
The revelation that Harris would shoot a home intruder goes against her previous remarks opposing stand-your-ground laws, which allow the use of deadly force against an intruder without imposing any obligation on the homeowner to retreat first.
