Gun rights supporters march to the Idaho Capitol in Boise during a rally in September, 2018. Some Idaho gun activists feel betrayed by President Donald Trump's recent support for some firearms restrictions.

Two recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton have left more than 30 people dead and dozens wounded. The debate over guns in America and who should have them is front and center after the shootings and remarks from President Donald Trump about “Red Flag” laws. Reporter Heath Druzin with Boise State Public Radio and Guns & America has been covering the Idaho reaction to this story. He joins us on Idaho Matters.
