Swalwell is out there stumping for confiscation. Before y'all dismiss him out of hand I would not be surprised for this to be endorsed by all of the Dem candidates.
Democrats push mandatory federal buyback of 'assault weapons'; prosecution for owners who don't comply:

“A ban would leave 15 million (assault weapons) in our community, so I don’t think that really protects us,” Swalwell, who dropped out of the presidential race last month, said before a town hall on gun violence Wednesday at Hayward City Hall. “The buyback is the hard part hard politically, but I think that’s what it’s ultimately going to take… I’m going to continue to insist that those running for president sign onto that.”
A buyback program would declare possession of certain assault weapons illegal, and require owners to sell them to the federal government for fair market value. Those who refuse would be criminally prosecuted.
It’s nearly impossible to imagine a mandatory buyback policy passing a Republican-held Senate or getting support from President Trump, who on Wednesday ruled out an assault weapons ban, although less far-reaching options like a red flag law have found some backing among GOP elected officials in recent days.
