Okay a collective total thread on the candidates and gun control

After studying some Democratic candidate surveys on gun control I can come up with these conclusions:

1) ALL of the candidates support a STRONG assault weapons ban that would ban "copycat" weapons made post 1994.

2.) ALL support closing the gun show loophole.

3.) ALL support ballistic fingerprinting

4.) ALL oppose allowing the Federal govt to block lawsuits against gun makers and sellers.

Only John Edwards broke with saying he doesn't think all private transactions (like between brothers or cousins) should go through a background check.

If you want to discuss the candidates and gun control, please do it here as the Mods have notified me that there should be one post on the same subjects (as opposed to each candidate).
