Senator Dick Durbin tackled the issue of gun violence and mass shootings as students walked out of classrooms around the country to express concerns about school safety. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Parkland, Florida shooting last month, Durbin said the time to act is now on new gun restrictions.

Durbin than lashed out at Congressional Republicans and President Trump, as well as a three letter target.

Durbin also called on NRA members to demand tougher standards.
