Pfleger announces anti-gun rally in nation's capital, slams 'ignorant' Ted Cruz
The Rev. Michael Pfleger announced Wednesday that he is forming a bus caravan to travel to the nation’s capital to rally for gun control regulation, and urged Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to return with him to Chicago for a free schooling on the city’s gun problem.
Members of Pfleger’s St. Sabina parish in Auburn Gresham, along with those from a coalition of other anti-violence organizations, plan to board as many as 10 buses for a Sept. 25 rally they are organizing outside the capitol building in Washington D.C.
“Until we have some federal gun laws, we’re going to continue to see this mass murder going on not just around the country but on the streets of Chicago,” Pfleger said during a news conference in the basement of his church.
“We want to ban assault weapons, we want universal background checks and we want to title guns like cars...It is time, it is past time, to pressure the capital, the legislators of this country, to get some strong gun legislation that protects our citizens.”
