ATLANTA — Democrat and Republican lawmakers are collaborating on new legislation to address the recent shootings at Apalachee High School, but that collaboration only goes so far. Channel 2′s Richard Elliot learned that some Democrats are pushing for some significant changes including red flag laws and universal background checks. Republicans have indicated they are open to some new gun safety storage laws and laws holding parents accountable for their children’s criminal actions, but so far, only Democrats are advocating for broader reforms.
