Virginia Senator Mark Warner (D) said Sunday that he would reconsider his previous opposition to a ban on assault-style weapons, following a day of gun-control marches across the country that attracted hundreds of thousands of participants.
Warner, one of 15 Democrats who voted against a ban on assault-style weapons in 2013, said “it’s time to change our positions and reexamine” gun control laws in the United States.
“I’d always been in favor of universal background checks, particularly after Sandy Hook, but I think it’s time for us to have a legitimate debate about restrictions on gun magazines and assault weapons,” Warner said on CBS’s Face the Nation.
“You get into definitions, but the basic notion of these weaponized, militarized weapons need to be off our streets.”
