The Clinton campaign is hitting Obama for his remarks last night about handguns:
Gibson: But do you still favor the registration of guns? Do still you favor the licensing of guns? And in 1996, you - your campaign issued a questionnaire. And your writing was on the questionnaire that said you favored a ban on handguns.Obama: No, my writing was not on that particular questionnaire, Charlie. As I've said, I have never favored an all-out ban on hand handguns
The Clinton campaign links to the questionnaire, courtesy of the Politico, to show that the senator's handwriting does appear. Well, yes, but other than one answer on endorsements, the rest of the questionnaire is typed out. Silly point, but sillier for Obama to dispute it.
Not so silly is that Obama did in fact favor a ban on handguns. From the questionnaire:
35. Do you support state legislation to:a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes
b. ban assault weapons? Yes
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes
