 From Wilson Biographies Plus Illustrated
Carolyn McCarthy became the focus of national attention in December 1993, after a crazed gunman killed her husband and critically wounded her only child in what was dubbed the Long Island Rail Road massacre.
Before that tragedy, McCarthy was a suburban homemaker, avocational gardener, and onetime nurse who described herself as "the quietest woman in the world." In the months immediately afterward, she became an ardent spokesperson for gun control while devoting most of her time to her son's care and rehabilitation.
McCarthy, who had fought for passage of the 1994 legislation that instituted the ban, was outraged, and she announced her candidacy for his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
