A thumb's up today to state Rep. Steve Barrar, R-160.
The longtime representative from Upper Chichester has had a change of heart of sorts on a gun bill in the House.
Last week Barrar said he will now co-sponsor House Bill 1400, sponsored by fellow Delco Rep. Jamie Santora, R-163, something he had opposed in the past.
House Bill 1400 will beef up background check laws in Pa., as well as closing several loopholes in the state law.
Barrar said he was inundated with calls and emails after the latest mass shooting school incident in Parkland, Fla. He's also offering several amendments to make the bill better.
It's one more sign that the echoes from Parkland are not going away.
They are growing louder.
