Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) on the Future of Gun Reform
New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney discusses the future of gun reform in the U.S. following the Parkland school shooting. We talk about the students who marched on the Florida State Capitol and how they're changing the conversation around guns. Maloney says she is proud of the next generation.
