Newtown, Orlando, Las Vegas – each of these places marks a mass murder during the last couple of years in the US, involving at least 28 casualties. All the murder weapons were bought legally. It seems as though the tragedies occured more frequently. And politicians were just watching. That is, until Valentine’s Day, 2018, when a perpetrator started shooting at the MSD High School in Parkland, Florida. At the wake for the murdered 14 students and three teachers a handful of young people came together to voice their discontent towards politicians and the weapons industry. Within just a few weeks the teenagers organized the largest demonstrations against gun violence since the protests against the Vietnam War. They demand strict regulations for accessing weapons and to ban AR 15 assault rifles altogether.
