On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Senate Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) responded to a question on the crime surge in Washington, D.C. and what can be done for crimes committed without a gun by stating that "it's hard to put your finger on it for any given city." And "Some of this is going to take addressing issues that are really deep-seated in terms of poverty and the way children are being raised," Durbin also stated that he knows that lack of gun control is a part of the crime issue in Chicago.
