“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.

“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”

The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit "probably..." It's a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.

      What kind of moron charges a door when they know there's people with a guns behind it?

      Exactly. Why are they assuming there are no guns behind the heavy front door, and the only guns are behind the thin bedroom doors? What kind of moron do they have to be?

      You're just trying to create scenarios where you get to shoot someone lmao

      The scenario I "created" is functionally identical to the scenario the parent comment created. I simply clarified that relying on a weak interior door is monumentally stupid when a tough exterior door is available. You know it, I know it, everyone reading along knows it.

        Why do you believe people break into homes in the first place? What could possibly cause people to be so desperate 🤔

          If you could answer that question, you could keep 1.1 million people from trying to commit suicide every year.

            The answer is Capitalism.

            Speaking of suicides, why is the suicide rate in the US so much higher than in China, Cuba, and the DPRK?

          If they find out after entering people are awake and armed, they're bailing out.

          Better for them to "bail out" before coming through the front door. They won't even catch a charge if they do that.

          Clearly, we aren't talking about the kind of people who "bail out", so I'll invite you to think on that a moment.
