Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed support for the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects the right of citizens to bear arms, according to online tabloid TMZ.
Harris said this on the air of the program Oprah Winfrey Thursday night.
Harris confirmed that she herself owns a gun and would not hesitate to use it if someone broke into her home.
“If someone breaks into my house, they will get shot… I probably shouldn’t have said that. But my staff will deal with this later.” – said the presidential candidate.
However, she said gun laws need to be passed and enforced. She, in particular, spoke of the need to ban assault weapons.
AK-type assault rifles “have no place on the streets of civil society” because they are designed as weapons of war.
Harris first admitted to owning a gun in 2019, when she was still a U.S. senator. However, she declined to specify the brand of the weapon for “security reasons.”
