Georgia legislators push for gun safety reform after Apalachee High School shooting

On today’s episode, we begin by discussing the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School that claimed four lives. Georgia legislators, including Speaker Jon Burns, have promised to revisit gun safety and student mental health measures in the upcoming legislative session. The AJC’s Bill Nigut, Tia Mitchell, and Greg Bluestein are joined by Dr. Mark Rosenberg, a leading national advocate for stricter gun laws, to discuss the path forward for Georgia.

Next, Tia Mitchell shares her interview with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who is campaigning in Georgia for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 elections.

Finally, it’s Friday, which means it’s time to open the listener mailbag! Bill, Tia and Greg will tackle your questions and observations about Georgia politics, followed by their picks for who’s up and who’s down this week in politics.
