Kamala Harris' recent comments on guns

As it’s apparently a bit specific for the general Kamala Harris Election Runup thread. I’ll start one here. Recently VP Harris said this about being a gun owner: Vice President Kamala Harris told a visibly shocked Oprah Winfrey on Thursday that an intruder who breaks into her home would be “getting shot, sorry.” With a laugh, she followed up: “I probably shouldn’t have said that.

Request granted.

Moderating:

This is a permanent formal warning and suspension from this thread as well as a suspension from the board for a period of time while we discuss your future posting privileges.

Senate races 2026

Worry not. The guy running an ad reaching out to Tucker Carlson fans is still the nominee in Michigan, and Graham Platner, Totenkopf and all, was full speed ahead as the nominee in Maine until the number of rape victims became too big to ignore. This before getting into what the average Dearborn voter or Ilhan Omar constituent thinks about the Banana-Stealing People. The coalition definitely includes some pencil mustache aspirants. But not Haley Stevens, anymore.

You are back to using virtually the identical troll-like language you were mod-noted yesterday by me to stop using. As I told you then, moderation would escalate. Now it has.
