New York.- Just hours after the carnage in Las Vegas, Dominican-born US congressman Adriano Espaillat, on Tue. asked his colleagues to unity to legislate against guns, with tougher rules against possessing weans and ammo.

“The massacre left me with a broken heart,” said Espaillat, who has submitted a bill against concealed weapons. The lawmaker also said that he sent his condolences to the relatives of the dead and wounded.
