We’ve been following responses across the country to last year’s string of mass shootings. Our last stop, Texas, focused on the story and activism of Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who said that a mass shooting she witnessed in Texas would have turned out differently had she been allowed to carry a gun.
Florida is a center for pushback on gun control. Gina Jordan is statehouse reporter for WLRN in South Florida.
