Sen. Manchin: 'It just really has changed us. It's changed me'

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, repeats his pledge from earlier today to seek changes in our nation's gun laws in response to the Sandy Hook shooting:  

Manchin said that he believed it would be possible to put in place new regulation without threatening the Second Amendment and that he hoped the NRA would participate in a "reevaluation" of gun laws. Manchin said he believed the response needed to be about more than just guns, but said he would work with his senate colleagues on gun legislation, including California's Dianne Feinstein.

"I don't know anybody that needs those multiple clips as far as ammunition in a gun," Manchin said. "The most I've ever used in my rifle is three shells. Usually you get one shot, and every seldom ever two." The belief that you need more, "doesn't make a lot of sense."
