Kamala Harris Supported Controversial Handgun Ban in San Francisco

As District Attorney, Harris backed a 2005 measure to confiscate handguns, which was later struck down by courts.

Proposition H, sponsored by Kamala Harris, aimed to ban the possession, distribution, and manufacture of handguns in San Francisco.
The measure was approved by voters but faced immediate legal challenges and was ultimately invalidated by state courts.
Prominent Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Dianne Feinstein distanced themselves from the measure, citing legal and practical concerns.
The ban would have required residents to surrender their handguns within four months, with exemptions for law enforcement and certain other professions.
Harris has a history of supporting strict gun control measures, including mandatory buy-back programs for assault weapons and enhanced storage regulations.
