US senator says NRA plan is 'beyond belief'

A senator said in a statement that he was stunned by the NRA's comments, according to NBC.

It is beyond belief that following the Newtown tragedy, the National Rifle Association's leaders want to fill our communities with guns and arm more Americans.The NRA points the finger of blame everywhere and anywhere it can, but they cannot escape the devastating effects of their reckless comments and irresponsible lobbying tactics.

– Senator Frank R. Lautenberg
