During an event in Michigan that was broadcast live on September 19 (local time), host and American TV star Oprah Winfrey discussed hot issues with Ms. Harris. Ms. Winfrey mentioned that Vice President Harris owns a gun, which she has repeatedly confirmed, The Hill reported on September 20.
“If someone breaks into my house, they’re going to get shot,” Harris said, then added: “Maybe I shouldn’t say that. My staff will deal with that later.”

Gun violence was one of the main issues discussed, with Ms Harris calling for a ban on assault weapons and universal background checks.
“For too long, some people have made the mistake of saying you can either support the Second Amendment or you want to take away people’s guns. I support the Second Amendment and I want to ban assault weapons,” Harris said.
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that the federal government has no authority to infringe on the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. Gun ownership is one of the most divisive issues in the United States, especially after mass shootings.
Ms Harris said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate in this year's election, is also a gun owner.

In addition to gun ownership, abortion was also discussed at the September 19 event. This is also an important issue that could impact voters' psychology in this year's US presidential election.
Ms. Harris's opponent in the election, former President Donald Trump, attended an event in Washington DC on September 19 with the theme of fighting anti-Semitism in the US.
Mr Trump said that if he lost the election, Jews would suffer. He added that Jews owed him votes, due to the former president's pro-Israel stance.
