After a shooter killed 6 at a Nashville school, some lawmakers promoted current gun safety legislation, with others urging an assault weapons ban.
A Nashville community is reeling after police say 28-year-old Audrey Hale entered the city's The Covenant School armed with two assault-style rifles and a handgun, shooting and killing 3 children and 3 adult staff members on Monday.
Durbin said,"We already know what must be done to keep our children and communities safe from deadly shootings. I strongly support bills to ban assault weapons from civilian use, and to close gaps in our background check system." Sen. Collins said while she didn't have many details on Monday as the situation unfolded in Nashville, she said she is"always open to ideas that people have," but that she was still waiting to learn more about the situation.
Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota said he needed more facts about the shooting in Nashville before he could offer an opinion on more gun legislation in this Congress.
