WONKBOOK: GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION
Ezra Klein
ntroduce legislation as soon as Monday targeting the high-capacity ammunition clip the gunman used. McCarthy ran for Congress after her husband was gunned down and her son seriously injured in a shooting in 1993 on a Long Island commuter train...Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) said he’s preparing to introduce a similar bill in the Senate. 'The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly,' Lautenberg said in a statement. 'These high-capacity clips simply should not be on the market.'"
