Florida school shooting Florida students, thrust in new role after shooting, find a powerful voice: 'we can't waste this chance' ‘This right now is the biggest issue in our country,’ said a student who survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting Cameron Kasky spoke on Saturday at a rally for gun control at the Broward County Federal Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. But as another week begins in Parkland, Florida, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school are adjusting to life in a different and unexpected role. They find themselves the flag bearers of a powerful new push for gun control laws, and are determined to be the generation that finally breaks the cycle. Stoneman Douglas students angrily denounced inaction by politicians in Washington at an emotional gun control rally in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday. It’s absurd to receive $30 million from the NRA and not do anything about gun control.
