U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, DFL–Minneapolis, went on Current media on Monday night in the wake of President Obama's visit to Minnesota, where he gave a speech advocating "common sense" measures to curb gun violence. Ellison lauds the president for skipping past Washington lobbyists to make his case directly to the American people. Ellison has been a vocal advocate for gun control, particularly after the Newtown, CT shootings.
