A little. More than the GOp. Generally the dems are in favor of \*mild \*gun control. Background checks, assault weapon bans, etc.

But Harris is about as anti-gun as holds major office. She said that gun laws that were unconstitutional were perfectly OK. She was in favor of a total handgun ban. She put into practice a sneak gun law that bans all new handgun models.
