How Florida Legislators Are Responding to the Newtown Shooting

The Takeaway

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.
