A Georgia state Senate Democrat wants to make it a crime for people to give children access to guns and require a 10-day waiting period for assault rifle purchases unless someone is licensed to carry weapons,

"I believe we can get all of these things passed," Jones said.

A Georgia legislative study committee is proposing a law that punishes parents who allow their children access to loaded firearms.

The committee was already meeting before the school shooting at Apalachee High School had renewed the push for safe storage legislation.

A Georgia state senator says the General Assembly needs to do better in gun safety measures. But lawmakers are split on what any plan will look like.
