Lawmakers believe gun control could happen

Cong. Adam Kinzinger says Second Amendment supporters need to be part of the solution to the gun violence problem.

Kinzinger says the minimum age to buy a gun should be 21. He says he owns an AR-15, but he’s open to requiring a special license to own one or even not allowing them to be sold anymore.

Sen. Dick Durbin says there are bipartisan negotiations on gun control. He thinks there should be a red flag law to stop people who might be dangerous from having guns. And he wants to crack down on straw purchases, where someone who’s allowed to buy a gun gets one for someone who isn’t.

Both lawmakers were on CNN. Kinzinger also talked about it on ABC.
