After the Florida senate narrowly passed landmark gun and school safety legislation, Martha MacCallum spoke to the father of one of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victims.
The legislation, sponsored by Republican Sen. Bill Galvano of Bradenton, raises the minimum gun purchasing age to 21, sends millions of dollars to school safety and mental health initiatives, and gives schools the opportunity to arm staff.
Martha MacCallum said the measure stopped short of explicitly arming "teachers."
Andrew Pollack lost his 18-year-old daughter Meadow on February 14, and told MacCallum he hopes no one "has to feel what I have to feel."
"When someone murders your kid, shoots her nine times, it kind of empowers you. ... It drives me every day," he said.
