Sen. Bernie Sanders said late Monday that Congress must take far more ambitious legislative action to combat the scourge of gun violence in the United States in the wake of the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois.
"Today's terrible shooting in Highland Park is the latest reminder of our nation's deadly gun violence epidemic," Sanders, I-Vt., wrote on Twitter. "Grocery stores. Schools. Churches. Fourth of July parades. Places everyone should feel safe. Congress must do more NOW to protect our people."
