| Subject: Hysterical idiots: 'To every politician who is taking donations from the NRA, shame on you': Shooting survivors turn their heartbreak into determination to change America's gun laws Sat Feb 17, 2018 10:14 pm | |
| Young survivors of the Florida school shooting have gathered at a massive rally to demand changes to the nation's gun laws.
Thousands joined the protest on Saturday at the federal court house in Fort Lauderdale, some 25 miles from where 17 people were shot and killed Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School this week.
Students from the high school spoke passionately during the rally, pleading with lawmakers to change the nation's gun laws.
One teen, Emma Gonzalez, angrily criticized politicians who take campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association, and challenged them to stop taking money.
'We will be the last mass shooting,' said Gonzalez, a senior at the high school who took cover on the floor of the auditorium as a shooter rampaged through the building.
She directly addressed President Donald Trump, reading out his tweet in response to the shooting and demanding to know how much the NRA had donated to his campaign.
During the presidential election, the gunowners' rights group pumped $31 million into ads supporting Trump and attacking his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton
