WASHINGTON (AP) — A top National Rifle Association official says proposing more gun control laws without better enforcement of those already on the books is not a serious solution to crime.
In testimony prepared for a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Wayne LaPierre says a ban on certain assault weapons has been tried before and failed. He says background checks will never be universal because criminals won't submit to them. Both are among measures that President Barack Obama is seeking.
