Friday’s shooting came as Florida lawmakers were preparing to consider legislation to loosen prohibitions on firearms by eliminating some of the state’s "gunfree zones," which currently include airport terminals. We go to Florida to speak with Thomas Gabor, author of "Confronting Gun Violence in America." His new opinion piece for the Sun Sentinel is headlined "Expanding gun rights won’t save us from more mass shootings." We also speak with New York Times reporter Richard PérezPeña, coauthor of the article, "In Year Before Florida Shooting, Suspect’s Problems Multiplied."
