U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden joined New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and some of the families who lost 26 children and adults in the December attack on a Connecticut elementary school in demanding Congress enact stricter regulations on guns.
Biden, Bloomberg and the families of two children and a teacher killed by a gunman armed with an assault rifle called on Congress to ban sales of such weapons. They also asked for a prohibition on ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and to require background checks on all gun purchasers.
