"There was a call-in person who said 'you know, I’d like to vote for you, but I don’t know, where do you stand on guns?'" Burke said.

She pointed to commercials the National Rifle Association has run that she said are trying to convince people she wants to take away their guns. She doesn't, Burke said, except in the case of criminals and those suffering from mental illness.
