"These types of weapons are the gold standard of mass murders," said State Representative Carlos Guillermo-Smith, who sponsored an assault weapons ban in tandem with a state senator.

Record low turnout of 49 percent in Sunday's first round detracted from the performance of Macron's untested team, raising concerns over the strength of his mandate.
