Kamala Harris Defends Gun Stance Amid Criticism

Vice President Kamala Harris has stirred controversy by asserting her gun ownership and willingness to use it against intruders, a stance that contrasts sharply with her prior support for stringent gun control measures. As San Francisco's District Attorney, Harris backed Proposition H, which sought to ban handgun possession and mandate firearm surrender, but the measure was struck down by courts. Recently, Harris reiterated her gun ownership during a debate and an interview, with her campaign advisor clarifying that her comments about shooting intruders were meant as a joke. Amid these mixed messages, Harris faces criticism for her handling of economic issues and the selection of her running mate in the tight presidential race against Donald Trump.
