As the legislative session kicks off this month, a group of Minneapolis parents are determined to drive change around gun violence in Minnesota.

Their children attend Annunciation Catholic School and were present during the mass shooting on August 27th. Two children were killed and 28 others injured.

As their community takes steps to heal, the parents also want to ensure that nothing like it ever happens again.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are set to introduce a slate of legislation aimed at gun violence prevention, school safety and mental health resources. DFL State Rep. Emma Greenman will introduce an assault weapon ban on Tuesday. Rep. Greenman joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about the legislation.
