Gun Legislation May Come by February

Assault weapons ban seems unlikely though

Following an at times emotionally charged hearing on Wednesday that included an appearance by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said he plans to complete work on a bill by the end of next month.
