A bi-partisan group of Senators has begun discussions about what if any changes in federal law could help stop mass shootings.

South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds says any change needs to make a real difference…..

Rounds says the best path may be to try and stop those crimes before they happen…..

Rounds says opening up juvenile records may also be necessary….

Rounds says finding agreement on banning certain types of guns is more difficult because of the wide range available.

Rounds spoke to the general assembly at Girls State at USD in Vermillion Tuesday night.
