Cuomo and the Assault Weapon Ban

Over the last 48 hours, the debate over gun laws in America and New York in the aftermath of the shootings in Newtown, CT, has very much focused on assault weapons.

President Clinton signed an assault weapons ban into law in 1994, but it was allowed to expire in 2004.

But now, there's word that President Obama will support reinstatement of the ban.

Here in New York, Gov. Cuomo is also calling for a renewal of the assault weapons ban and a tightening of New York's regulations.
