March for Our lives supporters gather in Downtown Houston to demand safer gun legislation

In the wake of the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, F.L., in which 17 people were killed and 17 more were wounded, this nation has been embroiled in a newly invigorated conversation about the regulation of the ownership of firearms. Union Grove ended up with 170 students participating.

"We just want inclusion ― and to be able to share our stories", Rodriguez said, noting that March For Our Lives student leaders like González are their friends and support the Stories Untold project. They are exhausted of waiting for the politicians or anyone who is in charge, to make a change, and they have nothing to lose - they are merely seeking for peace.

The marchers left the Milwaukee County Courthouse and walked east on State Street toward City Hall, 200 E. Wells St., chanting in opposition to gun violence. For many students, it would be the first time they registered to vote.

Protesters urged for universal background checks on all gun sales, to raise the federal age of gun ownership and possession to the age of twenty-one and to close the gun show loop hole.
