Vice President Kamala Harris stated during a Thursday night interview with Oprah Winfrey that a home intruder on her property would be shot with her firearm.

Harris mentioned that she and her running mate, Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are gun owners during the Sept. 10 debate against Republican nominee Donald Trump. In a seemingly joking manner, she warned Winfrey about her readiness to shoot a home intruder.

“I’m a gun owner, Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said. “And if somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot. Probably shouldn’t have said that. But, my staff will deal with that later.”

During the debate, Harris aimed to counter Trump’s assertions that she plans to take guns away from law-abiding Americans by highlighting her own gun ownership. “Tim Walz and I are gun owners; we are not taking anybody’s guns away. So, stop with the lies,” she told Trump.

Harris has maintained her support for a ban on so-called assault weapons and universal background checks for all firearm purchases. In an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) on Tuesday, she reiterated her desire for universal background checks for all handgun purchases.

In 2019, while running for president, Harris called for mandatory gun buyback programs for “assault weapons.” She also indicated to MSNBC’s Craig Melvin in October 2019 that she might confiscate “as many as 10 million guns.”
