Arne Duncan: ‘This Country Values Our Guns More than Our Kids’

EXCERPT:

DUNCAN: “Well, as you know, Chicago is not an island. And unfortunately we live half an hour from Indiana. And Indiana has some of the most lax gun laws in the nation. And so this is a national crisis. It's a national tragedy. And it has to have a national response. This can’t be solved city by city or even state by state. Our country, unfortunately — I really believe this — values our guns more than we value our children and that has to change. We as adults have failed and our kids are going to force the change. They will lead us to where we need to go, which is to a safer United States and a safer society.”
