ATLANTA — Georgia lawmakers should use Wednesday’s school shooting in Barrow County as a catalyst to make it harder for children to gain access to firearms, the chairman of a state Senate study committee said Thursday.

“We have an opportunity in Georgia,” said Sen. Emanuel Jones, D-Decatur, chairman of the Senate Safe Firearm Storage Study Committee. “Now is the time for us to take advantage of this opportunity and seize the moment.”
