Vice President Kamala Harris gave some very Kamala Harris answers when speaking about guns in an event last week.

Harris, the current Democratic Party presidential candidate, attended a two-hour "Unite for America" event last Thursday hosted by Oprah Winfrey. Speaking to several topics from attendees, the subject eventually turned to the national conversation over gun policy. 

"I think for far too long on the issue of gun violence some people have been pushing a really false choice to suggest you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away," said Harris. "I'm in favor of the Second Amendment and I'm in favor of assault weapons bans, universal background checks, red flag laws, and these are just common sense – these are just common sense."

Harris has long supported such gun prohibitions and restrictions, calling for them just days before the event. They are a declared part of her party's platform and her own declared platform.  

Winfrey interjected by saying she thought it was "was so powerful at the convention when you ... said you have guns – no, at the debate, at the debate." 

"I'm a gun owner," finished Harris, underlining a talking point she interjected into the Sept. 10 Presidential Debate with President Donald Trump.

"I did not know that!" replied Winfrey.

"If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot," said Harris, dropping her voice an octave to emphasize the last few words.

"Yes, yes, I I I hear that..." stammered a nodding Winfrey. 

"I probably should not have said that, but my staff will deal with that later," said Harris. "But here's my point, Oprah, is that I'm not trying to take everyone's guns away. I believe in the Second Amendment."

The interview with Winfrey aired just a day after a 2007 clip resurfaced of Harris speaking while San Fransico's District Attorney, in which she warned, "Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible."

Voters head to the polls on Nov. 5, although early voting starts as much as 46 days before Election Day in some states. In many states, deadlines to register to vote are even closer.
