buyback

The issue: Many gun control advocates support not only a ban on selling new assault weapons, but also a buyback program to remove from circulation millions that have already been sold.

The Democrat has also proposed enacting a billionaire minimum tax and quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks — something corporations did a lot of with their windfalls from the 2017 tax cuts.

Last week's ABC News debate moderator noted that Harris no longer supported a "buyback" programme that would force gun owners to hand over their AR-15s and other assault-style weapons to the government.

The Democratic presidential nominee supports universal background checks, so-called "red flag" laws and a ban on assault weapons, but critics are honing in on her past support for a mandatory buyback of semi-automatic rifles.

But too many stock buybacks can drain cash from a business, which is what happened at Bed Bath & Beyond.
