Sandy Hook mum calling for assault weapon ban

The mother of Dylan Hockley, killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, wants the US to ban assault weapons, and high-capacity magazines. Speaking to Washington Correspondent Robert Moore as part of a Tonight investigation into gun culture in the US, Nicole Hockley said:

"When the shooter stopped to reload, eleven children were able to escape. Had the shooter had a lower capacity magazine, such as 10 bullets in the magazine, rather than 30, which is what he had, there might have been more opportunities for children to escape. "
