Marco Rubio shrugs off vitriol from the Left on guns

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Monday shrugged off barbs from gun control advocates disappointed with the Florida Republican for not doing more to crack down on access to firearms.

Rubio has thrust himself into the cauldron of gun politics since the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 14 students and three educators dead. Among the few conservative, Second Amendment supporters to explore new federal gun restrictions, Rubio has been thanked for his effort by being singled out for special condemnation.
