Florida school shooting survivors to travel 400 miles to press for gun law change
Some 100 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School will travel 400 miles to Florida's capital today to urge politicians to act to prevent a repeat of the massacre that killed 17 students and teachers last week.
The students plan to hold a rally on Wednesday in the hope that it will put pressure on the state's Republican-controlled legislature to consider a sweeping package of gun-control laws, something some GOP politicians said on Monday they would consider.
