Kamala Harris owns a gun for protection. Here are 3 major Senate gun control bills she supports

At a campaign stop in Iowa, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and California Sen. Kamala Harris stated that she owns a gun for protection.

“I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason that a lot of people do: for personal safety,” Harris told a group reporters. She cited her past as a career prosecutor.

She went on to try to distance herself from far-left proposals to confiscate firearms while promoting other forms of gun control.

“In terms of gun policy, though, I think that for too long and still today, we are being offered a false choice," she said, "which suggests you’re either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone’s guns away.”

Harris is a cosponsor of fellow California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein's "Assault Weapons Ban of 2019," which bans 205 guns by name and targets the most popular rifle platform in the United States.

She's also a cosponsor of Feinstein's bill to support red flag gun confiscation laws, as well as a bill from Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., to ban "large capacity" magazines.
