President Obama has fought opponents of gun control "every step of the way," according to a new campaign ad for Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D., Ill.).
Hitting Rep. Jackson’s opponent, Debbie Halverson, on her gun control record, the ad says: "Debbie Halvorson sided and voted with the Republicans and the NRA against gun control […] President Obama and Congressman Jackson fought them every step of the way."
Halvorson is a former Democrat Illinois representative.
