He obviously supports it as he voted for it. But it would be nice to have a direct quote showing he understood what he voted for.
Anyone know how to get ahold of the minutes of that meeting?

Forget what he said in a survey, in 2003 Obama voted FOR IL SB1195 which would have banned the sale, possession and manufacturing of any semi-automatics (as well as magazines) capable of firing more than FIVE rounds. During the Senate Judiciary meeting on the bill, Obama commented that giving folks 90 days to surrender thair weapons was essentialy confiscation.
And then he voted YES.
