Watch the entire 2hour "Expanding the Debate" Democracy Now! Special

DemocracyNow.org - President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney sparred last night in their second of three debates. Today, in a two-hour special, we expand the debate by including the voices of three presidential candidates shut out of the official debate. We are joined by Jill Stein of the Green Party, Constitution Party nominee Virgil Goode, and Justice Party candidate Rocky Anderson. We re-air parts of last night's presidential debate, pausing the videotape to give third-party candidates a chance to respond to the same questions put to the major-party candidates.

In this clip, the candidates respond to this question:

NINA GONZALEZ: President Obama, during the Democratic National Convention in 2008, you stated you wanted to keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals. What has your administration done or plan to do to limit the availability of assault weapons?
