New Orleans Officials Advocate Downtown Gun Restrictions Following Deadly Mass Shooting

New Orleans officials respond to a mass shooting outside a music club by calling for state action on gun laws, expressing concern over recent legislation allowing concealed carry without a permit. Elected officials are pushing for restrictions in downtown areas, proposing bills to create firearm-free zones and prohibit concealed carry at sporting events. The Republican-controlled legislature's response to these proposals remains uncertain, while some lawmakers and the mayor seek to ensure justice for the victims and prevent future violence.
