On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss a ProPublica/Texas Tribune investigation revealing that despite decades of mass shootings in Texas, legislators have failed to pass meaningful gun control laws.
The majority of the state’s 19 mass shootings over the past six decades were carried out by men who legally possessed firearms.
