A young man I knew was murdered at the top of my block yesterday: Shahid Smith. He was killed by an assault weapon that does not belong on my block or any street. Shahid lived below me in Brick Towers where I lived for 8 years. His life mattered. His death must matter.

The dream of our land can’t be real or secure or safe anywhere until it is made so everywhere. We have common pain, let us unite in common purpose. Columbine and Camden; Newtown and Newark; Parkland and Paterson. Never Again, Never Again, Never Again.

Even conservative Chicago police officers want a ban on assault weapons! Their lives are also on the line.

Where are the police talking about how these weapons make their life harder and more dangerous? I'm pro law enforcement but wish they would join calls for sensible gun safety legislation.

You struggle in quicksand, your sinking, and if you don't stop, your going to perish due to your own stupidity. In Austin, TX, do you blame the bomb, or the bomber?
