AUSTIN, Texas - The "March for Our Lives" rallies took over much of the U.S. this weekend.

But, lawmakers in Washington have only addressed a few of the advocates' concerns in Friday’s spending bill.

Some lawmakers said they're encouraged by the student activism but, time is running out for legislators to make big changes to gun laws before mid-term elections in November.

FOX 7 Austin’s Rebecca Thomas talks to Travis County GOP chairman Matt Mackowiak and, Ed Scruggs from Texas Gun Sense about the enthusiasm for the movement and if it will last.
