Dwyane Wade mourns cousin, urges tougher gun laws in Chicago

Dwyane Wade has lashed out against Chicago's gun laws, calling them weak and saying he's urged officials in his hometown to enact changes to make the city safer.

The Chicago Bulls star, whose cousin was shot dead last week, also said his children are afraid of police officers in the same way he was growing up and that prisons need to better rehabilitate inmates. Wade added that he was left with "a bad taste" in his mouth when Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted about his cousin's murder.

Wade spoke to ABC News in an interview broadcast Friday.
