[quote:soldier32 9456357:MV8yMDg0OTE5XzM1MTA3MjA3Xzc5RjYyMTUx] The guy that did the shooting at Sandy did it with 2 pistols. And you can go ahead and ban the assault weapons even thou it will not change anything. In the 90's when the Gov banned them they nothing changed just go look it up. And also look this up. Mass shooting are down now then they ever have been. [/quote]
Original Message
Two US Senators became the first of America's pro-gun advocates to break ranks on Monday night as they called for a ban on assault weapons in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings.
The two Senators – both Democrats but with "A" ratings and previous endorsements from the powerful National Rifle Association gun lobby group – both spoke out to argue publicly that the death of 20 Year 2 children was a "game-changing" moment for America's divisive gun debate.
"Never before have we seen our babies slaughtered. It's never happened in America that I can recall, seeing this carnage," said Senator Joe Manchin, who in 2010 released a political advert touting his NRA endorsement and showing him with a hunting rifle 'taking aim' at a piece of climate change legislation.
