Jimmy Kimmel gets emotional in call for action on gun violence: 'Children are being murdered'

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel slammed President Donald Trump and Congress over inaction on gun control Thursday night in the wake of the shooting at a Florida high school which killed 17 people on Valentine's Day.  Kimmel made an emotional plea for action in his monologue on "Live!" -- first agreeing with two of Trump's statements from a Thursday morning address about the shooting. He cited two similar quotes from Trump, including that "no parent should ever have to fear for their sons and daughters when they kiss them goodbye in the morning."

"I agree with both of those statements," Kimmel said. "And here's what you do to fix that, tell your buddies in Congress, tell Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and Marco Rubio, all the family men who care so much about their communities, that what we need are laws, real laws, that do everything possible to keep assault rifles out of the hands of people who are going to shoot our kids. Go on TV and tell them to do that."
