“You want to make it illegal to buy or sell these assault weapons, and as part of your efforts, you would offer money, a buy-back,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand tells ABC News.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand spoke out on ABC’s"This Week" against Israel’s initial decision to deny Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar the ability to visit the country, but stopped short of saying there should be repercussions.
The senator's remarks follow two high-profile mass shootings earlier this month in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, in which dozens of people were killed. Gillibrand said, if elected, she would ban assault weapons and large magazines. She also called for fingerprint technology to prevent unauthorized users from pulling the trigger on a particular weapon.
If elected president, Gillibrand said she would partner with other nations and consider using sanctions to pressure China over growing tensions with protesters in Hong Kong.
