Common-sense gun law choices

Common-sense gun law choices

There have been 87 school shootings since the massacre at Sandyhook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. When did this become a country where parents have to worry about this when sending their children off in the morning?

A huge part of the problem is easy access to guns. I am outraged that I can go online and buy an assault weapon as easily as I can buy a pair of shoes.

We need politicians who stand up to the gun lobby and close the loopholes that are putting our children at risk. Governor Pat Quinn, Senator Dick Durbin and congressman Bill Foster have done so and will continue to push for sane gun legislation. They are the clear choices if common sense gun laws are important to you.
