Kamala Harris and her campaign surrogates have insisted -- repeatedly -- she's a gun owner and isn't going to ban guns (she is, though). They can't really provide details on the gun, though, but Kamala said if you try breaking into her home she'll shoot you.
But, for sake of argument, let's believe that Kamala owns a handgun as The New York Times reported.
If that's the case, this scoop from Stephen Gutowski at The Reload is very, very interesting:
Kamala Harris Backed San Francisco Handgun Confiscation Measure

But she's totally not going to confiscate your handguns.
Vice President Kamala Harris supported a 2005 ballot measure that banned San Francisco residents from possessing pistols.
The Democratic presidential nominee backed Proposition H in her role as the city’s District Attorney at the time. The measure banned San Francisco residents from buying, selling, or even possessing handguns. With exceptions included for active-duty law enforcement, military, and licensed security guards, 58 percent voted in favor of the measure. But it faced immediate legal scrutiny from the National Rifle Association (NRA), California Rifle and Pistol Assocaition (CRPA), and other gun-rights groups.
“San Francisco was a leader in proposing gun restrictions at the local level, and she never met a gun control law she didn’t like,” Chuck Michel, who represented the NRA and CRPA in its fight against the city, told The Reload. “Prop H was the crowning jewel.”
There it is, folks.
I want to make sure SAF gets proper credit for being involved in both lawsuits against SF for the city's two attempts to ban civilian handgun possession.

We are looking in to the other SF gun ban ordinances she supported and will post soon
Good. Expose her for the radical gun grabber we all know she is.
I’m betting @SRuhle won’t be asking any question about this.

She sure didn't.

In black and white.
Look, no one is coming to take your guns. We're just going to outlaw the purchase, sale, and possession of your guns...and then take them.

'It's not a ban, it's a mandatory buyback.'
That's the garbage semantics they'll try to play here.

Perfect meme for this.
While San Francisco DA in 2005, Harris supported Prop H. The measure banned city residents from buying, selling, or possessing handguns. https://t.co/LQGtY5QyNZ pic.twitter.com/rTdT6zEb1R

That's literally taking guns away.
Kamala supported measures to ban handguns in both her home state and in SCOTUS while AG.
— National Association for Gun Rights (@NatlGunRights) September 25, 2024
While in the primaries she repeatedly called for mandatory gun confiscation.
As VP she advocated for Australia-style gun confiscation.
She is and will continue to be an anti-gun tyrant. https://t.co/VDe0Ms9ZjV pic.twitter.com/aCkze0pQ7M
Her values have not changed.
Kamala Harris is an anti-rights authoritarian, and she always has been.

Believing she "supports the Second Amendment" is like still believing in Santa Claus. https://t.co/ctPE76wIvX pic.twitter.com/HVmu5oEKqS
An unfair comparison. At least there's a chance Santa's real.
Kamala has -- and always will be -- a gun grabber.
The only thing surprising about this is that it took someone this long to point this out. Again though, Democrat politicians can continue to say they support the 2A because despite Bruen and Heller, they don’t believe it conveys an individual right to keep and own a gun. https://t.co/Ma3E6t9oyo

They hate the Second Amendment and will undermine it any chance they get.'
Kamala claims she owns a handgun

But she tried to ban *and confiscate* handguns in San Francisco
Hell of a scoop from @StephenGutowski pic.twitter.com/1MZ2w19Lq9
It is a hell of a scoop.
