CHICAGO – In the wake of the tragic mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today joined local gun safety advocates to call on Congress to act on common sense gun reforms and stop turning a blind eye to the deadly toll of gun violence in our schools and neighborhoods. The only vote the U.S. Senate has held this Congress on guns has been to overturn a regulation to keep guns out of the hands of individuals with mental illness.
“There is no single reform that could stop every shooting, but we know there are big gaps in our gun laws that make it easy for criminals, abusers, and mentally unstable people to get their hands on guns - even military-style assault weapons with bump stocks,” Durbin said. “Over the past week, we have seen high school students from Stoneman Douglas High in Florida speak out and organize to hold their elected leaders accountable on the issue of gun violence. They are joining with advocates here in Chicago and around the country to help push for common sense reforms. Their activism is heartfelt and it is powerful. I hope the Republicans who control Congress and the White House will listen.”

Shut up Little Dick. The “gun sales lobby” didn’t kill anyone. Get your head out of your ass, boy!
Hey, Turdbin...
I just got a raise AND a bonus, thanks to my President.
And I’m going to spend some of it this weekend.
And you are going to hate what I’m going to buy.
Nobody sells more guns than Dick and his ilk.
Doesn’t he represent Chicago?
Gun Sales Lobby?
I have yet to see a Commercial on Network TV trying to sell me a Firearm.
What’s the answer Dickie, closing down Big-5, Cabela’s and Turners?
A Demonicrat keister flatulates.
Just consficate guns. Violence will disappear!
These people have never been to South LA, South Chicago, Harlem, Baltimore and Liberty City.
Smug liberals like Dick Durbin protected by their armed bodyguards are oblivious to the daily gun violence in this country in Democrat-run cities.
According to them, that’s all Republicans’ and the NRA’s fault.
You missed the S&W advert on the olympics? Yeah, me too.
They call us murderers and then they expect us to disarm out of guilt.
Democratic reverse psychology doesn’t wash.
When it comes to the 2nd Amendment, Congress and Durbin can sit down and shut up!
None if it is negotiable.
And the Parkland “event” revealed that gun control is not the issue. There were multiple failures at multiple levels of multiples organizations charged to protect these children.
Take all armed security details away from Democrats.
STFU Lil Dick!
Yup. We already have 30,000 gun control laws on the books.
NONE of which are being enforced and adding more to the pile won’t make any difference whatsoever in terms of public safety,
Its not the guns. Its the values, stupid.

Little Dick Turban Durban needs to stand up and admit to being a Marxist.
The ultimate oxymoron .... Illinois & gun control to prevent mass shootings!
