ORLANDO, Fla. – If there's a question you'd like answered about firearms and their impact on the community, now is your chance to ask.
On Feb. 11, News 6 hosted a special day of coverage called "Generation Under Fire: Guns, Rights & Safety," during which we explored gun-related issues and what effects firearms have had on the Central Florida region.
