Rubio backs raising age to buy rifles, says he'll consider ban on large-capacity magazines

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, facing an outraged constituent audience of school shooting survivors Wednesday, signaled a willingness to vote in favor of limited gun control measures.
Flanked by two Florida Democrats, Rubio was the lone Republican lawmaker to attend CNN's town hall a week after the deadly Parkland school shooting. President Donald Trump and Florida GOP Gov. Rick Scott declined to participate.
Rubio said he would support legislation to prevent an 18-year-old from buying a rifle and that he is reconsidering his support for large-capacity magazines. He also broke with Trump on arming schoolteachers and vouched for a system where potentially unstable people could temporarily lose their access to firearms.
"I absolutely believe that in this country if you are 18 years of age, you should not be able to buy a rifle, and I will support a law that takes that right away," Rubio said at CNN's town hall in Florida.
