Tuesday we're asking this question: should we be limiting gun rights or protecting them? Last year, the US experienced two of the deadliest mass shootings in our nation's history and gun-rights and gun-control advocates are again debating how best to respond. That's playing out in Utah where lawmakers are working through bills to eliminate concealed carry permits, to assert the state's sovereignty to regulate firearms and more. We'll talk about what's happening in the legislature and take your calls.
