"35. Do you support legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of
a. handguns?
OBAMA
While a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable, I believe reasonable restrictions on the sale and possession of handguns are necessary to protect the public safety. In the Illinois Senate last year, I supported a package of bills to limit individual Illinoisans to purchasing one handgun a month; require all promoters and sellers at firearms shows to carry a state license; allow civil liability for death or injuries caused by handguns; and require FOID applicants to apply in person. I would support similar efforts at the federal level, including retaining the Brady Law.
b. assault weapons?
Yes.
c. ammunition for handguns and assault weapons?
I would support banning the sale of ammunition for assault weapons and limiting the sale of ammunition for handguns.
36. Do you support legislation
a. mandating background checks of purchasers of weapons at gun shows, through the internet and through print advertisements?
Yes.
b. increasing penalties for illegal resale of weapons?
Yes."

"I believe we need to renew--not roll back--this common sense gun law," Obama said. - In reference to the 1994 AWB."
Most of my guns would be illegal under the 94 GUN BAN

What is an "assault weapon?" Last time I checked guns did not assault people, people assault people. Oh and I like the term "high capacity magazine (assault clips to leftists). I believe that magazines come in a standard capacity as determined by the firearm manufacturer (Glock 17 9MM standard capacity is 17+1) Me thinks Leftists and Gun Grabbers need to be educated.
