Okay, I had some problems with the audio, so I had to work from notes. Not as complete as I’d like, but here goes:

Christine favors an assault weapon ban. I also asked her about the Illinois schema of gun regulation that involves everyone who operates a firearm being required to have a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card, background checks, and 24/72 hour waiting periods for gun purchases. Specifically I asked if she would support extending that to a national level and she responded that she tends to see that issue how Howard Dean did–each state is capable of determining their own gun laws to fit the needs of that state.
