Based on her past comments and votes:
Hillary Clinton supports:
- a new, permanent, expanded AWB as recently introduced by Carolyn McCarthy,
- licensing and registration of all handguns and create a Federal database of all new sales,
- State and local government access to all BATFE trace data,
- ban on all .50cal+ firearms, including blackpowder,
- safe storage requirements for all firearms,
- supported Ted Kennedy's centerfire ammo ban that would have outlawed nearly all centerfire rifle ammo,
- opposes lawsuit preemption for firearms manufacturers, voted against the Protection of lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA),
- supports a ban on new manufacture and importation of "high capacity" (+ 10) magazines for rifles and handguns.
A few quotes:
Hillary Rodham Clinton offered her support for a legislative proposal to license hand guns. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to obtain a state-issued photo gun license.
“I stand in support of this common sense legislation to license everyone who wishes to purchase a gun,” Clinton said. “I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry, such as Chuck is proposing.”

Q: How would you address gun violence that continues to be the #1 cause of death among African-American men?
A:
I think it's important to remember that the crime rate was driven down, & gun violence was driven down in the 1990s because of a combination of policies, like 100,000 police on the street and getting assault weapons off the street, and because of a growing economy. 22 million new jobs gave people who were hopeless a better chance for a future. So I want to get back to what works. This administration has tried to kill the 100,000 police. You've got mayors whose police force is outgunned by the criminals and the gang-bangers. Assault weapons are back on the street. We've got to go and do what works again. In addition to having policies that will get guns off the street, we do have to give young men particularly a better chance of a future that includes educational & economic opportunities & second chances when they get caught up in the criminal justice system.
