Rep. Bobby Rush: Guns Easier to Obtain for 12 Year Olds than Prescription Medication

‘I’m so disappointed that mothers, family members, young people … can’t look to their leadership here in the Congress and count on their leadership to help solve this problem’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"We need effective, sane, commonsense gun control legislation. We need the house of representatives to be the representative of the American people and not just the representatives of the NRA. I’m so disappointed that mothers, family members, young people, not only in Chicago but throughout the nation, I’m so disappointed that they can’t look to their leadership here in the Congress and count on their leadership to help solve this problem, this carnage on our streets, all across this nation. Guns are more available to 12, 13, 14-year-olds in this nation right now as we speak. Guns are more available to them . Easier to obtain than a prescription from a physician."
