How big firms and students are reacting to Parkland Shooting
#neveragain
David Hogg: founder of the Never Again movement
March 7, 2018
Companies have been changing the way they deal with guns—especially now after what happened in Florida.
Companies like Dicks Sporting Goods will now remove assault style rifles from all locations; they will also raise the age to buy any other firearms to 21.
The Delta airline is severing ties with NRA by removing its discounts for NRA members.
Kroger also raised the age limit to buy a firearm to 21; customers are also not allowed to buy guns and ammunition until they proceed with a background check to verify their ages.
It’s also students who not only were directly affected, but individuals all over who want change.
Students from Parkland High School came together to form the #NeverAgain movement with a public protest called March for Our Lives scheduled for March 24th.
This movement wants there to be stricter gun laws and more in-depth background checks for gun buyers.
They are planning to march in Washington D.C and appear on national T.V to ask leaders why they haven’t done anything. These are just some steps being taken so victims in this shooting and others do not die in vain, and hopefully, so nothing like this happens again.
