This comes less than a week after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida last week that resulted in 17 deaths.

Since the shooting, many in the establishment media and Democratic Party have been pushing for gun control measures.

One student, Brandon Minoff, said, “They exploit everything to make it political.”

“They’re more concerned about gun control at this moment rather than the fact that there were 17 people that were killed.” (RELATED: ‘They’re More Concerned About Gun Control’ — Stoneman Douglas High School Student Slams The Media)
