The leader of the Catholic Church in West Virginia is openly calling on the Governor to call a special session of the legislature to act on an assault weapons ban for West Virginia in the wake of the Texas school shooting. There is more talk of gun control measures on Capitol Hill and possibly some softening of long held positions, we’ll talk more about where West Virginia’s delegation stands in the conversation.
