From the VoteSmart.org questionaire filled out by Torlakson's own office:

(an X before each letter indicates a YES, I SUPPORT THIS)

Indicate which principles you support (if any) regarding guns.

X a) Maintain and strengthen the enforcement of existing state restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns.

b) Ease state restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns.

c) Repeal state restrictions on the purchase and possession of guns.

d) Allow citizens to carry concealed guns.

X e) Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks on guns.

X f) Require background checks on gun sales between citizens at gun shows.

X g) Require a license for gun possession.

X h) Establish a database of ballistic 'fingerprints' to track guns used in criminal activities.
