Just before President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in an attempt to gain access to billions of dollars for his border wall, a Democratic congresswoman who lost her son in a fatal shooting called gun violence the real crisis.

“In my mind, there really is a national emergency,” Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) told CNN on Friday. “People continue to die every single day. We know that we’ve got over 100 people in this country that die unnecessarily to gun violence every single day. That is a public health crisis. That is a national emergency ― not a wall.”

McBath, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, faced tragedy in 2012 when her teenage son Jordan was gunned down at a Florida gas station. Saturday would have been his 24th birthday.
