Kamala Harris “supports mandatory gun confiscation.”

Publisher’s rating: Mostly False

Research from related reporting identifies the claim as one Donald Trump made about then-Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in Atlanta on August 3, 2024. The article quotes him saying, “She supports mandatory gun confiscation,” and adds that he argued she wanted to take away all guns. The excerpt places that allegation within a broader account of claims that gun-safety measures are a prelude to confiscation. It reports that “Fact-checkers noted these were false assertions,” but does not identify those fact-checks or provide their methods, evidence, or detailed reasoning. This excerpt therefore documents the claim and reports that it was assessed as false, but does not itself supply enough evidence to independently explain the assessment.
