[b][color:#FF0000]Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, the chamber's senior Democrat, said his home state of Vermont, which has a strong tradition of gun rights, has a rule limiting hunters using semiautomatic rifles to just six rounds of ammunition during deer-hunting seasons.
"Are we really saying as a nation we're going to be more protective of the deer than we are of our children? I think not," he said.
Mr. Leahy said Congress needs to improve background checks and to close the gun-show loophole, and he said he will take a look at other proposals that come from President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden.
