Barack Obama said Friday that the country must do "whatever it takes" to eradicate gun violence

Obama's solutions during his Senate run.

35. Do you support legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of

a. handguns?

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.

Wow. so now “assault weapons” will be based on caliber?
I can’t use my Remington .223 bolt rifle because it’s the same caliber as an M-16 ? great logic there. very effective.

While we’re here, has everyone heard of Obamas Global tax proposition that also includes a WORLD WIDE ban on “Small Arms”?
