Students Across The Country Demand Action On Gun Reform

Survivors of the Florida school shooting descended on the state’s Capitol on Wednesday and had one overarching message: It’s time for action.

Ross Ellis, founder and CEO of STOMP Out Bullying stated: “She is deeply saddened and distraught over these school shootings“.

If there are students who dont want to return to Stoneman Douglas High, the district will help them transfer to another public school, Runcie said.

At a Stoneman Douglas High staff meeting held last week at a Parkland municipal building, teachers said they wanted to get back into the classroom as soon as possible so they could be reunited with their students and colleagues, Runcie said. Sen. Marco Rubio: “People buy into my agenda”.

Mills claimed that the answer to this controversial political pickle was for students to inform the government of the reality that high school students will be able to vote soon, and these catastrophes will not be forgotten along with the memory of lawmakers not taking a stance against gun violence with the implementation of stricter gun laws.

“It frustrates me when people talk about the Second Amendment“, Mathews said.

Avery Anger, 14, hid in a closet during the shooting.

“It was more of a debate than a discussion”, she said. “And I’m pissed! Because my daughter, I’m not going to see again”.

“As kids who’ve grown up watching us adults accept these tragedies, I’m so proud of them for not accepting it”, she said. The president promised to be “very strong on background checks”, adding that “we’re going to do plenty of other things”. But they were disappointed by the lack of commitment. If we wait, then someone else might become a victim too.
