LOS ANGELES — In the wake of the mass shooting in Monterey Park that claimed the lives of at least 11 people, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to ban “military-style assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines or ammunition feeding devices.
Officials said the gunman, who fired 42 times at a dance hall on Saturday night, Jan. 21, was carrying a modified 9 mm semi-automatic weapon.
The legislation — which is joined by Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, both of Connecticut, would include the gun used by the shooter, Feinstein’s office said in a news release on Monday.
