Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) Calls For Greater Gun Control Following Virginia Tech Shootings* The killings at Virginia Tech have inevitably put the spotlight on the debate over gun control. Virginia police have traced the store where they say the shooter -- Cho Seung-Hui -- bought one of the weapons five weeks ago. New York Democratic Congressmember Carolyn McCarthy is known as one of the most ardent gun control proponents in the House. In 1993, her husband Dennis was killed and her son Kevin seriously injured when a gunman opened fire aboard a Long Island Rail Road Commuter train.
