The biggest University in Texas.   Cameron is a volunteer in March For Our Lives. She is going to the the rally with her school friend Jacob, an 18 year old right leaning independent, from north west Texas. Jacob, just tagging along, wanted to check out the rally for the experience.   We talked about Cameron's volunteer work in MFOL and how those activities resonate in her family. And we all talked about guns and gun culture in the state of Texas, a state where gun culture is strong.
