SCHAKOWSKY -- TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR CONGRESS TO PASS GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today warned that time is running out for Congress to pass gun safety legislation this year.

"In just a short period of time, I attended three funerals in my home town of Evanston. I cried with grieving parents burying their children because of senseless gun violence. I do not want to attend any more funerals, console any more parents, or bury any more children," Schakowsky said.
