Washington (CNN) Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said Sunday that he's open to supporting a federal ban on AR-15 rifles, saying his position on the issue has changed in the wake of a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school last week that left 19 children and two teachers dead. I think I'm open to a ban now. Kinzinger noted that an "extra license," or "extra training" may be required to own such weapons. "My side is not coming forward with reasonable ways to defend an amendment that we think is very important. And earlier this month, 10 people were killed in a racist mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
