Writing on The Huffington Post, Cicilline said he has cosponsored bills that would require a background check for all firearms sales, require such checks for sales at gun shows, restrict sales of ammunition, ban high-capacity magazines for rifles, ban assault weapons and close a loophole under which gun dealers who lose their licenses can sell their inventory privately as a "personal collection."
