With national security driving the debate, Democrats see a more powerful argument than simply advocating the need to
curb gun violence in a country of 320 million that has more than 310 million weapons.
«We support this and other legislation that will further strengthen the strongest
gun safety laws
in the
country, but as the governor said, to most effectively
curb gun violence we need federal action and the lack of federal action on this is alarming,» Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said.
