CNN — Kamala Harris’ revelation at the most recent presidential debate that she is a gun owner caught some viewers by surprise – the vice president has said relatively little over the years about her personal experience of owning a firearm.

Responding to Donald Trump’s warning that Harris “wants to confiscate your guns,” the Democratic nominee fired back: “Tim Walz and I are both gun owners. We’re not taking anybody’s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.”

And Thursday night, Harris suggested to Oprah Winfrey at a virtual campaign event in Michigan that she would use her gun to protect herself from an intruder: “If someone breaks in my house, they’re getting shot.”

Harris’ gun – which one source described as a pistol that could fit in a small purse – is securely stored inside her home in Los Angeles, an aide to the vice president told CNN. Harris had mentioned owning a firearm in 2019 during her unsuccessful presidential campaign – that gun, the aide said, is the same one she owns now. As vice president, Harris has mainly resided in Washington at the Naval Observatory, where she does not keep a second firearm.

Government didn’t sell me and my family guns so how can they buy back something they never sold? Do we have to do a background check on them?

I don't believe it.

Much like the George Floyd trial, the cop was going to be found guilty because the DA didn’t want race riots to erupt again. Same thing in LA.

Tim Walz and I are both gun owners.

Crazy as they are no way they own one unless someone they know scored one for them.

Imagen her giggling blasting away at something.

Better yet, it would be fun if some media type asks her what kind of assault weapon she owns.
