Kamala Harris once supported allowing police to enter homes of legal gun owners
By Laura Harris // Sep 24, 2024

Vice President Kamala Harris once supported police inspection of legal gun owners at home to ensure proper firearm storage.

In May 2007, then-San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris helped draft legislation that tightened gun control measures in the city. The law, which was later passed and signed by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom, imposed penalties for failing to store firearms securely in private homes. In other words, policemen could "walk into" a gun owner's home to inspect if they properly secure their firearms. (Related: Kommie Harris plans to seize all civilian-owned AUTOMATIC WEAPONS during her first 100 days in office – does that mean a staged mass-shooting before the election?)

"We're going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and 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 and safe in the way you conduct your affairs," Harris told reporters in May 2007 during a press conference introducing the legislation.

Aside from home inspections, the legislation required legal gun distributors to submit inventory reports to the police every six months and banned firearms in public housing, even if the owner possessed them legally.

"When we create laws, it's not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it's about trying to encourage certain types of behavior," she said at the conference.

Harris also advocated for a mandatory buyback program for 'assault' weapons

In addition to supporting the "safe-storage bill," Harris also repeatedly advocated for a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons during her short-lived presidential campaign in 2019.

"We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program," Harris said in an October 2019 gun control forum in Las Vegas. "It's got to be smart, we got to do it the right way. But there are five million [assault weapons] at least, some estimate as many as 10 million, and we're going to have to have smart public policy that's about taking those off the streets, but doing it the right way."

In several interviews that year, Harris reiterated her stance that assault weapons have no place on the streets and that a buyback program should fairly compensate gun owners.

During that time, Harris also backed the renewal of the 1994 federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. The ban had restricted the production, transfer and possession of specific firearms and high-capacity magazines. She claimed that this stance aligned with the Second Amendment, rejecting the notion that one must choose between the amendment and gun control.

Years later, Harris has once again called for an assault weapons ban, in a brief statement on X.

"Ban assault weapons," she said, uploading an image with this three-word statement on her account. In her tweet, she captioned the image urging Congress to "renew the assault weapons ban."
