How are the Parkland students changing the gun control debate? (Josh Horwitz)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

On  February 17, at a gun control rally held in front of the Broward County Courthouse, Stoneman Douglas senior Emma Gonzalez gave an impassioned plea for students to stand up and demand action for her slain classmates after a student went on a shooting rampage on February 14 that killed 17 and wounded 17. The clip was viewed over 3 million times on YouTube.  But Gonzalez was just getting started. Along with her schoolmates Alfonso Calderon, Sarah Chadwick, Emma González, David Hogg and Cameron Kasky,  she started the organization Never Again MSD with the goal of ending  school shootings in the US permanently. With Never Again MSD’s first major demonstration, The March For Our Lives happening in Washington, DC and across the country on Saturday, Jesse talks to Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition To Stop Gun  Violence, about how the Parkland students have changed the political calculus of the gun debate in this country.
