It appears the Republican-controlled state Legislature is unwilling to enact tougher gun laws this year — even in light of a mass shooting that left six employees dead at Molson Coors Brewery in Milwaukee.

After the tragedy, Fitzgerald called the shootings an "act of evil" but did not address the issue of gun control.
