Friends,
I have been invited by CNN to participate in "Guns in America," a nationally-televised town hall with President Barack Obama, tonight at 8:00 PM.
I am honored to represent Brooklyn, America's fourth-largest city, in a nationwide conversation about the role of guns in our society. From Fort Hood to Fort Greene, Blacksburg to Bed-Stuy, San Bernadino to Sunset Park, unchecked gun violence is carving highways of death that have connected our nation in a sad and shameful way. In the face of congressional gridlock and dangerous radicalized rhetoric, President Obama is pushing forward on this issue.
As a former police officer, a current lawmaker and, most importantly, a father, I am interested to learn our country's next steps forward in the face of this growing crisis.
Watch CNN on television tonight at 8:00 PM or online at: CNN Live
-Eric
