US Vice-President Kamala Harris has spoken of her willingness to use her gun if an intruder entered her home.
"If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot," she said in a jokey exchange during a livestreamed event in Michigan with host Oprah Winfrey on Thursday.
After a laugh, the Democratic presidential nominee continued: "I probably shouldn't have said that, but my staff will deal with that later."
Harris, who highlighted during the recent presidential debate that she was a gun-owner, went on to reiterate that she supported a ban on assault weapons.
A firearm of that type was "literally designed to be a tool of war", she told Winfrey. "It has no place on the streets of a civil society."
Harris's opponents have increasingly pointed to Harris's attitude on guns as being indicative of her shifting policy positions ahead of the November election.
While she stressed her support for an assault weapons ban on Thursday, last week's ABC News debate moderator noted that the Democrat no longer supported a "buyback" programme that would force gun owners to hand over their AR-15s and other assault-style weapons to the government.
Buyback proposals gained steam during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, with Harris voicing her support at the time. "We have to have a buyback programme, and I support a mandatory gun buyback programme," she said in October 2019.
During the presidential debate, Harris did not directly explain why she no longer supported the buyback idea.
Asked by Winfrey to confirm if she had been a gun owner for "a while" herself, Harris replied that she had. She said she was was a supporter of the US Second Amendment, which protects the right to gun ownership.
But Harris stressed that she wanted tighter gun laws.

Guns for me but not for thee is the byword for leftists.
She’s full of sh*t! She was told to say that or she’s drunk. The clapping female seals behind her are all disciples of Moms Demand Action and yet thought her bizarre statement was fabulous. Nevertheless, she and the Democrats would love to crush 2A to a worthless amendment and trample on the others.
Goes against everything she says. Why are they saying this mnow?
Is she scared. Probably been threatened. Maybe Trump’s assassination attempts getting to her conscience? Hmmmm
I don’t mind. Her life is obviously more important than mine.
Kamala was drunk again. She is surrounded by Secret Service agents all the time, wherever she is.
Of course, maybe she’s aware of how incompetent SS has been lately and wants to carry weapons herself. But I think was just drunk again.

I wonder if by her house she means the White House and anyone that wins other than her is “breaking into her house”.
If you’d made the statement, red flag laws would take effect and you’d get visited. Rules for you but not for her Highness.
I thought that in California there is a duty to retreat even inside one’s home.
Yup, Unless you’re cornered like a rat with no way out.
For the peasants living in 2nd story boxes with one door only, That counts as no way out.....
"[if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door."
Prior to that in an interview, he said he told Dr. Jill: "if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house."
Biden Advises Shooting Shotgun Through Door
So I guess that means that Joe and Dr. Jill are gun owners too.
LOL! Oh really? Who’s going to shoot them, you? Or your effeminate “husband”?

California Law says that you can use deadly physical force if someone breaks into your house, however, if you have an avenue of escape, you must take that option before using deadly force. It’s the same way in New York State. You can shoot someone that’s broken into your home, but if it is determined that your life wasn’t immediately at risk, and you had a way of getting out of the house without engaging the perp, you will be charged if you used a weapon.
....but anyone breaking into her country is perfectly welcome.
...in her best “black” voice.
BFD. She lives on a secure USN base and has a Secret Service protection detail.
What she said isn’t wrong, but she wouldn’t be the one doing the shooting.
Someone today said “yes, by the Secret Service agents protecting her.”
