Chicago area doctors called for Illinois lawmakers to vote for an assault weapons ban as the state Senate meets to consider the gun control bill.
"I think we can all say enough is enough and that should not be a controversial statement," Dr. Omar Lateef with Rush, said."Sometimes I can hear the families sobbing and grieving outside of my office. You can hear the wailing, and the sobbing and the screaming and it tears your heart out," Dr. Russel Fiorella, Mt. Sinai. "You see people pulling at each other, collapsing on the sidewalk in total grief. This is a weekly and monthly occurrence.

Among those testifying in front of senators on Monday morning was Highland Park parade shooting survivor Ashbey Beasley. She was at the ill-fated July 4 parade with her 6-year-old son.
