I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in Heller's case, because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns and so they wanted people with guns to safely store them. And the court didn't accept that reasonable regulation, but they've accepted many others. So I see no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment.

We've got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias.

I do support the effort to investigate for crimes, war crimes committed by the Syrians and the Russians and try to hold them accountable.

I really feel strongly that we can make change for every person. And it will be radical in the person's life.

The gun lobby whips up people and makes them believe that President Obama or I are coming for their guns. Well, that's ridiculous. And he's said it, I have said it. But we do want to save lives by keeping a gun from somebody who shouldn't have it.

There's a certain consistency to who I am and what I do, and I think people have finally said, 'Well, you know, I kinda get her now.' I've actually had people say that to me.

I'm very proud that I was a Goldwater Girl. And then my political beliefs changed over time.
