WASHINGTON — The powerful gun lobby is detecting enough support in Congress to block a law that would ban assault weapons, despite promises from the White House and senior lawmakers to make such a measure a reality.
Senators plan to introduce a bill that would ban assault weapons and limit the size of ammunition magazines, like the one used in the December shooting massacre that killed 27 people, most of them children, in Newtown, Conn.

Globe also forgets about our own Ted Kennedy who after advocating gun bans, he completely backed down. It's DEMOCRATS who are blocking new gun laws.
