A ban on "assault weapons" and seemed open to the idea of an Australian-style gun grab. Her statements on the latter point were just politically naive - the Second Amendment prohibits the government from seizing guns and there's no political support for such a move, so she took a position that is both unconstitutional and politically unpalatable but still gives her opponents fodder for attacking her as a gun-grabber. She appears to oppose individual ownership of firearms, but she can't really do anything about it.
