Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Sunday urged President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney to turn their focus to gun legislation in the wake of the mass shooting in a Colorado theater that killed a dozen people. "I would hope that there would be a sane national conversation on guns. President [George W.] Bush said he supported the continuation of the assault weapon legislation," the California Democrat said on "Fox News Sunday." "President Obama, Mr. Romney, I think they should give it a lot of consideration. I think this is a bad time to brace a new subject, but there has been no action. There has been no action because there's been no outreach out there. People haven't rallied forward."
Feinstein, who helped lead the charge to pass the now-expired assault weapons ban in 1994, said there was a "tremendous amount of support" for that bill, but that it's "a lot tougher now, because the gun organizations have become so strong."
