Florida Gov. Rick Scott says he will talk with the families of Parkland school shooting victims before deciding whether to sign or veto a package of gun control measures passed by the Florida legislature. It would raise the minimum age to buy rifles, create a waiting period on the sales of weapons and establish a program to allow school employees to carry handguns.

WFSU's Sascha Cordner (@SaschaCordner) joins Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd to discuss the legislation.
