Florida lawmakers

The Republican-led Florida legislature has reached its last week. Gun control drives are underway. It is hoped to remove Republican legislators who have received campaign donations from NRA and have voted against gun control legislation. Florida has been a strong opponent to gun-control legislation and currently has a high number of concealed weapons permits. It has strict laws that require you to "stand your grounds" and other matters that could lead the state to a gun massacre. The NRA gives the state's current gun laws an 'F' grade, though Florida's governor has an A-plus rating and most lawmakers receive an A-minus or higher from the organization.

Stoneman Douglas High School students

Teens were inspired by the Florida shooting survivors to organize the March for Our Lives against gun violence. The march was held last March 24, and focused on federal background checks for firearms sales. The Senate is yet to decide on a gun control bill that the House passed last month. However, it has approved a House bill. While the March for Our Lives has not reached its goal yet, the students are making their voices heard.
