WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Dozens of teenage students spread their bodies on the pavement in front of the White House to demand presidential action on gun control and symbolize the 17 killed in a school shooting in Florida.
The teenagers were also joined by parents and educators. The protesters held their arms crossed at their chests. Two activists were covered by an American flag. One held a sign asking, “Am I Next?”
Ella Fesler is a 16-year-old high school student in Alexandria, Virginia. She says, “It’s really important to express our anger and the importance of finally trying to make a change and having gun control in America.”
Fesler adds, “Every day when I say ‘bye’ to my parents, I do acknowledge the fact that I could never see my parents again.” President Donald Trump is at his Florida golf club, some 40 miles from the site of the school shooting.

These kids are so much smarter than their political representatives. They will shame the NRA whores like nobody else can.
The badge of shame for taking NRA money will leave a mark. Students are calling out the NRA as child murderers and are telling the NRA to disband. Gutsy, gutsy kids. I hope they are the catalyst to make a real difference.
Also, note POTUS decided enough time has passed so he golfed today.
Only in America do gun nuts demand to have a “right” to military grade weapons in order to protect themselves from the Government, but then castigate the Government for failing to put a 24/7 tail on any gun owner who makes disturbing social media posts who might end up being a mass shooter.
