'I want to see less guns on less people, period,' says Christine Leinonen, the mother of Pulse shooting victim Christopher Leinonen. She said she is in favor of pushing a ban on assault weapons through voting and a ballot initiative. GunCrisisTownHall
CNN host Chris Cuomo said that the National Rifle Association declined to participate in the town hall on gun violence tonight.
"They declined. They sent a totally disingenuous statement that they're open to honest discussion but not this spectacle," he said. "That's what you call this, a spectacle? I guess they want to do their talking with propaganda ads and millions in lobbying," he added. He also said the gun lobby will not be the answer to this question, just as the tobacco industry was not the answer to issues of smoking years ago.
"People like you are the answer, and there can be no sides when it comes to wanting to be safer," he said.
