Dick Durban: 'Every Senator' might face 'their own Highland Park' without gun reform
Fox News
Sen. Dick Durbin argued that other senators may see tragedies similar to that of Highland Park in their own states if they don't work to pass meaningful gun legislation.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Durbin, who serves as Senate Democratic whip, has called for greater restrictions on purchasing assault weapons after the shooting at the July 4th parade in Highland Park. A gunman opened fire from a roof at around 10:14 a.m., just minutes into the parade, killing seven people and wounding dozens of others.
Durbin recounted some of the "sad things" that happened as a result of the shooting, such as a father dying while shielding his two-year-old from the attack and an eight-year-old who was hit and might not walk again.
