Ms. Harris, a strong advocate for tighter gun control measures, made quite the splash at a glamorous livestream event hosted by a former talk show icon, revealing that she possesses a firearm and is ready to defend herself against any intruder.
Kamala Harris has stated to Oprah Winfrey that anyone who gets into her home “is getting shot” as she attempts to win over supporters of gun rights prior to the presidential election in the United States.
The Democratic Party’s nominee for vice president of the United States, Ms. Harris, stated that she has a weapon and is prepared to use it in certain situations during a star-studded livestream event that she hosted.
“I am also a gun owner,” she stated out loud. Immediately after expressing her surprise, Ms. Winfrey issued a warning, saying, “If somebody is breaking into my house, they are going to get shot.”
Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, and Ben Stiller were among the celebrities who made appearances at the Unite for America event that took place on Thursday. The event lasted for a total of ninety minutes and was held in the city of Farmington Hills, which is located in the state of Michigan, which is considered to be a key swing state.
On YouTube alone, there were over 300,000 people watching it, and it was also accessible on other major social media platforms for those interested.
In addition to highlighting the fact that she and her running partner, Tim Walz, are both gun owners, Ms. Harris emphasised that she intends to implement additional limitations on assault-style guns in order to address the issue of school shootings in the United States.
During her campaign, Senator Harris not only reiterated her commitment to lowering taxes and lowering housing expenses for the middle class, but she also delved into another of her signature topics, which is the issue of abortion rights.
In addition, the mother and sister of a young woman who passed away in Georgia after waiting twenty hours for a hospital to address the difficulties she experienced as a result of taking an abortion pill participated in the show.
On Monday, it was reported for the first time that Amber Thurman had passed away. This occurred just two weeks after Georgia’s stringent abortion ban was enforced in 2022, following the decision of the United States Supreme Court to eliminate abortion rights worldwide.
In her statement, Ms. Harris has placed the responsibility for her passing on her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, who appointed three conservative judges to the court while he was in the White House.
In many instances, Mr. Trump has claimed that he is responsible for the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse the Roe v. Wade decision, which had previously granted women in the United States the legal right to have an abortion.
During her speech, Ms. Harris made the accusation that Mr. Trump and “certain” state officials believed they were more suited than medical professionals to determine whether or not a patient required medical attention.
Her statement emphasised that the experience of Ms. Thurman sheds light on the fact that abortion restrictions have resulted in a “health care crisis that affects both the patient and the profession.”
The November 5th election is less than seven weeks away, and a few swing states are expected to decide the outcome.
