Believes in the Second Amendment but with background checks

Her family owned guns, and in Iraq she carried a Glock and an M4. She said she believes in the Second Amendment. "That said, I believe that it is clear we need additional comprehensive background checks. Closing all the loopholes so you can't avoid a background check--and making sure we are laser focused so that domestic abusers, terrorists on the terrorist watch list and mentally ill people cannot get them," she said.
