There’s been a lot of talk lately about guns and gun laws in the U.S.
Last week, a man opened fire, killing 49 people at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
This week, Congress decided not to pass several bills that would have reformed the country’s gun laws.
On the same day, a Connecticut judge upheld that state’s ban on assault weapons. Connecticut acted after gunman there killed 20 young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
Since that tragedy, states have been moving in both directions on gun laws, according to Jeri Bonavia. She’s executive director of the Wisconsin Anti Violence Effort.
