I suppose he didn't actually give these answers on the 2004 IVI-IPO questionaire either. He's not a very good liar, if he's nominated maybe the Clintons will tutor him.

IVI-IPO 2004 US SENATE QUESTIONNAIRE

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. a ssault 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 .

A right means nothing if it can be exercised only on paper. Great idea! Let's apply it to abortion and see if the Democrats still agree "states and local governments can restrict the exercise of that right." Obama's own words right back at him.
