A number of Democratic presidential contenders have endorsed confiscating guns and having widespread buybacks of firearms funded by the government in the wake of the mass shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said that she was willing to send police officers to people’s homes to confiscate firearms banned through so-called red flag laws or other avenues.
