High school students say they tried to set up a town hall on gun regulations with Utah’s congressional delegation. When they didn’t get one, they held their own, continuing the debate that flared up after a gunman shot and killed 17 people in a Florida high school in February.
Several in a group of about 60 students and teachers called on Utah’s members of Congress to support new gun regulations on Saturday, two weeks after 8,000 people marched through downtown Salt Lake City to the Capitol.
Sen. Orrin Hatch and Utah’s four Republican representatives weren’t in attendance Saturday.
