DrDeth is thread-banned from this thread for engaging in a general gun control debate in a thread that was not about a general gun control debate: > [@Kamala Harris' recent comments on guns](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kamala-harris-recent-comments-on-guns/1007591): > > As it’s apparently a bit specific for the [general Kamala Harris Election Runup thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kamala-harris-and-the-runup-to-the-2024-presidential-election-no-more-on-guns/1004571/1422). 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. My staff will deal with it later.” So I do actually have a problem with that attitude towards gun ownership (I h… ---

Copy/paste of thread ban already entered to Documentation: > [@Carney Deals with Trump (USA trade war against Canada)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/carney-deals-with-trump-usa-trade-war-against-canada/1032478/266): > > Moderating: In the last mod note I mentioned that further hijacks were going to be moderated with less tolerance. @uzi, your hijack is one you have repeated in every Canada-facing thread, and predates the most recent USA/Canadian trade agreement, which is, again the subject of this thread. Since you cannot stay on topic, despite three notes so far, I’m banning you from this thread. Do not post in it further. Again, to all, please stay on topic, or spin off a related thread as needed. In short, poster Uzi is banned from the above thread, following a pattern of hijacks and three mod notes.
