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.
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.
37. a. Should funding for the Legal Services Corporation be increased?
Yes.
b. What restrictions, if any, should Congress enact or repeal regarding the scope of federally funded legal services for the poor?
Congress should repeal restrictions that, among other things, prevent or discourage advocates for the poor from initiating class actions and other types of lawsuits that give meaningful redress for widespread grievances.
I also have no problem with open carry.
My dead cold fingers, Obama.
He just lost the election................

This may cost him the union vote. He just touched the third rail.
“While a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable...”
So, to answer the question - he WOULD try to ban handguns. It just isn’t “politically practicable” [at this time].
Nope. Just line up and be shot like good little sheep.
More criminals would get shot during altercations, is more like it.
And those folks with illegal handguns...are just gonna turn them in too.
Idiot....
Pander Bear!
OK, 0’bambi, put your money where your mouth is. How about you tell your SS detail not to carry?
It’s hard to bear arms, if you can’t carry them. Obama is an idiot, an idiot who can’t understand the concept of the 2nd Amendment, private property or freedom.
Well sure, everybody knows one of the first things criminals do after they obtain an “illegal handgun” is to register for a CCW license.
Why, it’s just common sense that’s what they do.
(If the reader cannot determine the level of sarcasm in that reply, no sarcasm notice I could add here would help.)
“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune.”
No Muslim is, especially when they’re outnumbered 99 to 1.
....typical black guy.
We need to make sure it's not Obama, either.
Then we need to stop McCain.
Obama! Kiss my ass. I’ll carry concealed when and where I like.
We're screwed no matter which one of them gets elected.
