Vice President Kamala Harris made a joke about shooting intruders who break into her home during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. The comment was made in a lighthearted moment, but Harris quickly acknowledged that it was not a serious statement. Harris, who is a gun owner, reiterated that she supports common sense gun control measures such as strengthening background checks and reinstating a federal assault weapons ban. She emphasized that she is not trying to take away everyone’s guns, but rather believes in upholding the Second Amendment. Harris also spoke about the prevalence of active shooter drills in schools, recounting a chilling experience during town halls at colleges where almost every student raised their hand when asked if they had participated in such drills. As vice president, Harris lives in the heavily protected Naval Observatory residence in Washington, making the likelihood of an intruder breaking in low. Overall, the exchange highlighted Harris’ stance on gun control and her commitment to addressing the issue of gun violence in the United States.
