Mark Warner Another NRA “A” Democrat For Gun Control After Newtown

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) is the latest Democrat with an "A" rating from the NRA to express an interest in new gun control legislation in the wake of the Newtown, Conn. shooting.

From WWBT-TV anchor Ryan Nobles in Richmond, VA:

Calling the massacre in Newtown a "game changer", U.S. Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia) a moderate and reliable pro-2nd amendment vote is ready to open the door to discussions on an assault weapons ban.

In addition to a discussion on assault weapons Warner also plans to address the "nexis" between mental health and gun purchases.

Nobles reports Warner is "scheduled to meet with reporters" Monday to lay out his proposals. Read the whole post here.
