This past weekend, mass shootings occurred across the country – with fatalities in Chicago, Portland, South Florida, Cleveland, Indianapolis and New Orleans.

Meanwhile, a federal judge has overturned California's longtime ban on assault weapons – in a ruling last Friday that likened the AR-15 to a Swiss Army knife.

Closer to home, here in Texas, a permitless carry bill is waiting to be signed into law by the Governor.

Today, we continue our on-going conversation – and coverage of – gun violence and policies.

We’ll also look at social justice, racial equity and policing.
