7-year-olds every single time. and the fact is that that's true of non-gun owners and gun owners. i can't tell you the number of responsible gun owners in connecticut who have come up to me over the course of the last month and said let's get something done, i don't need these kind of weapons or those kind of cartridges in order to enjoy my sport. and i think we're going to find that all across the country, that there's going to be a pretty impressive coalition that wants to get this done. >> senator blumenthal, when you just talked about honoring the experience of newtown, remembering those images, remembering what has created this political initiative, doing something about this at a time when i think people wouldn't have in advance noted we'd be doing a gun control agenda right now, what's the minimum to you in terms of policy that would honor the experience of newtown? what's your single highest priority, or what do you think is the least that we ought to do to responsibly respond to what happened? >> a ban on the assault weapons and high-capacity magazines is very important. but background checks i think are common ground where everyone can come to the backgrou firearms purchases and i believe very, very strongly on ammunition sales right now. you can walk into a walmart, buy a shopping cart full of ammunition without any background check, without answering any questions.
