Summary: NEWTOWN AND GUN CONTROL. In the wake of the Newtown school massacre, there is a public outcry for tougher gun control laws and to stem gun violence. Sen. Dianne Feinstein pledged to introduce gun-control legislation, including banning assault weapons, as soon as the new congress is back in session.
