At a town hall hosted by CNN, Ms. Harris said that, if elected, she would sign an executive order mandating background checks for customers of any firearms dealer who sells more than five guns a year. The executive actions would also include more stringent regulation of gun manufacturers that could result in revoked licenses or prosecution, as well as an attempt to close the loophole that allows some domestic abusers to purchase guns if their victim is an unwedded partner.
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris is proposing a series of executive actions she would take as president to enact gun control policies if Congress failed to pass comprehensive legislation within the first 100 days of her administration.
The California senator previewed the plan during a town hall Monday night on CNN, and her campaign plans to unveil the full proposal Tuesday, according to a campaign aide.
"Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action and specifically what I would do is put in a requirement for anyone who sells more than five guns a year, they are required to do background checks when they sell those guns," she said Monday. "I will require for any gun dealer that breaks the law, the ATF take their license."
She spent a lot of time on her knees so she wants you to be on your knees, bowing to government. The stuff she says she wants is already Federal Law.

Background checks are not confiscation.
True, it just makes it easier when the politcally expedient time comes. And whether it would be Harris, Trump or the next creep that does the confiscating is anyones guess, but the groundwork will have been laid.
As an aside, Ill say its none of the national governments business who buys and sells a gun, butter knife, string trimmer, hammer...
Another Dim on video threatening to confiscate your weapons. But she will allow duck hunting
She forgot target practice. Regardless, that'll be a nice sound bite for Republicans to run repeatedly.
KH is typical of many liberals, equating gun rights with hunting. They even talk about 2A and hunting in the same sentence.
What follows? The proposal, actually promoted by liberals, that guns be stored at shooting ranges, where owners can access them for hunting/target practice.

True. What they are is redundant.
Background checks are already performed on firearms purchases.
I think the Senator knows that. Unless she doesn't.
