The impact the Apalachee High School shooting could have on Georgia's gun laws

First up, the hosts discuss what we’re learning about the Apalachee High School mass shooting and look at whether there will be a new effort by Democrats in the Legislature to roll back the permissive gun laws that the GOP-dominated General Assembly approved. 

Then, Republican consultant Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson join the podcast to talk about how the shooting is affecting the presidential race. 

Plus: Democratic state Rep. Shea Roberts discusses her red flag legislation, which didn’t get a hearing last session. She also discusses the PAC she’s created in hopes of gaining legislative seats for Democrats.
