Grief and rage over one of the deadliest school shootings in modern American history have forced some lawmakers to begin to rethink their positions on gun control, and a powerful chorus of teenage voices is pushing those in Florida to limit access to semiautomatic rifles.
Students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed last week, are traveling on Tuesday to Tallahassee, the state capital, to call for a ban on assault rifles. The direct appeal to the Legislature follows protests outside schools, social media appeals and national television appearances.

Who granted them "power"....the media? Does this "power" supercede our constitution?
Sarah Sanders pointed out every one is looking for a quick and simple answer to a horrendous tragedy. It doesn’t exist.
Hopefully, with time, cooler heads will prevail.
Hooray!
Hooray for ignorance and buffoonery.
Hooray for scripted sanctimony!
Hooray for the next generation of sheep...
Wow - organizing that didn’t take long.
I assume they had some high-level activist political help? Perhaps some groups skilled at organizing leftist outrage?
Organized by the gun control mafia. These brain-dead kids will get one lesson not learned or spouted by your leftard teachers: guns save lives...now shut up.
Well crafted agitprop.
Who’s coaching this kid?

I’m calling on @SenRubioPress to return $4,950 in NRA contributions. We deserve leaders who will stand up to the gun lobby and prioritize protecting our children and keeping our communities safe. #VoteCourage
Yeah. Soros and the MSM gave them a free ride, literally. Now there are reports the idiot kid Hogg, was at CNN HQ before the shooting. Makes Newtown look like a Hollywood production.
A complete ban is impossible - the Constitution deliberately erected checks and balances to the passions of temporary and excitable majorities.
Majority rule is important but so is protecting the rights of the minority. This is the genius of America.
Another Left wing activist. He can make all the demands he wants but his 15 minutes is about to expire.
Hogg and Klasky will be the face of the Democratic Party in the 2020s

We should give toddlers drivers licenses while we’re at it.
I’d wager most couldn’t organize their sock drawer. Now their ready to take their pre-fabricated production on the road.
I wonder where these kids get their talking points from?
“Who’s coaching this kid?”
Truepundit already busted this kid: he was at CNN before the shooting started and his daddy is an FBI agent. Coincidence? There are none. He’s a plant.
their = they’re
Who paid for this bus? Who is paying for these kids to eat/sleep? Why would these parents let their kids miss school to lobby people that likely aren’t there?
How long would it take to convince a high school kid to skip class and go on a trip instead?
