NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are both pushing for Congress to pass stricter gun laws, including an assault weapons ban. But getting any new gun legislation through an evenly divided Senate appears unlikely, CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported Wednesday. “We are seeing tragedy after tragedy,” Harris said on CBS This Morning. The vice president is calling for Congress to finally reform gun laws, as the nation mourns 18 lives lost in mass shootings in a week. “Stop with the false choices. This is not about getting rid of the Second Amendment. It’s simply about saying we need reasonable gun safety laws. There is no reason why we have assault weapons on the streets of a civil society,” Harris said.
