Thousand of people across the country took to the streets to end gun violence. Thousands rallied in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman short dead 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. The “March for Our Lives rallies” came less than a man after the racist buffalo attack and the Texas school attack. This movement was formed in 2018 and organizers estimated million of people, mostly young, joined protests. The protest is a sign of ‘enough is enough’ and people have bottled up their anger to forecast in this big fat rallies and demonstration.
In Georgia, activists from across the state traveled to Atlanta in support of Stronger firearm legislation. New York City Mayor and New York Attorney General joined protesters as the crowd crossed the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday.
School shooting has survived since 2018, where a gunman open fired at the school, killing 17 students and staff. Many protests were held after this incident. In hope of pressing politicians to pass legislation to prevent future school shooting. But the same unfortunate incident has taken place again. Saturday marked the first demonstration by March for Our Lives in four years. This is sparked by mass shootings in Buffalo and school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Despite many condolences and prayers from the politicians the structural changes are not being reflected. Lawmakers have remained silenced on how to approach America’s issue surrounding gun violence, with Republicans steadfastly opposed to new gun control measures. The law passed by the lawmakers were unsatisfactory to the public and also the law is not aligned with the party lines. America needs major reforms in their gun controlling laws and protests of people needs to turn into revolution for structural changes.
