July 25, 2022 Tweet - "The daily toll of gun violence in America is devastating. And it's not just in Chicago.

Dick Durbin

July 11, 2022 Tweet - ""Engineered to the specs of freedom & independence." An AR-15 with high-capacity magazine--the same type of rifle the Highland Park shooter used to fire nearly 90 rounds into a crowd--is what some gun manufacturers want to sell you as the epitome of American freedom & independence." Sen. Dick Durbin
July 11, 2022 Tweet - "This is Cooper Roberts. He is 8 years old, loves playing baseball and soccer, and was one of the 46 people injured during the Highland Park shooting.

July 10, 2022 Tweet - "Joined @FoxNewsSunday this morning to discuss the Highland Park shooting and gun safety reform.

July 5, 2022 Tweet - "No parent or grandparent should ever have to think twice about bringing their children to a parade on the 4th of July.
