"What I believe is that we have to be very aggressive about endorsing the gun laws that already existed...."
"What I believe is that the second amendment.. government can impose reasonable regulations.. (boos) ... about criminal background... background of mental instability.... and if those regulations go beyond that, then they are unconstitutional...states can have a little bit of leeway..."

Thompson: "The mayor has supported a wide array of gun control laws. I'm not sure there was ever one that came up that he didn't support. The second amendment isn't a choice thing..."
