Florida students to march on Washington in call for gun reform
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleStudents who survived a mass shooting at their Florida school announce plans to march on Washington in a bid to “shame” lawmakers into reforming laws that make powerful firearms readily available.
The “March for our Lives” will take place on March 24, with sister marches planned across the country, a group of students tells ABC News, vowing to make Wednesday’s shooting a turning point in America’s deadlocked debate on gun control.
Nineteen-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a troubled former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, has confessed to killing 17 people with a legally-purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, the latest such atrocity in a country plagued by gun violence.
