emma gonzalez speech

We call BS. Here’s the transcript of Gonzalez’s full speech: “We haven’t already had a moment of silence in the House of Representatives, so I would like to have another one.


Earlier this week, a former student walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and killed 17 of his former classmates and teachers.

Until then, she just sounds like a whiny, immature teenager who pretends to know more than her parents. Do they even begin to understand the freedoms we are offered as citizens of this great Country?

Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump? You took that opportunity away last year. I watched an interview this morning and noticed that one of the questions was, do you think your children will have to go through other school shooter drills? No one understood the extent of what had happened. If you're not already a Mamamia member, sign up (it's easy, we promise). He would not have harmed that many students with a knife. That’s going to be Marjory Stoneman Douglas in that textbook and it’s going to be due to the tireless effort of the school board, the faculty members, the family members and most of all the students. Once the time had elapsed, Gonzalez explained why she'd fallen silent, and implored the marchers to fight for their lives. Just like Tinker v. Des Moines, we are going to change the law. We know that they are claiming mental health issues, and I am not a psychologist, but we need to pay attention to the fact that this was not just a mental health issue. They say no laws could have prevented the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred.

The students who are dead, the students still in the hospital, the student now suffering PTSD, the students who had panic attacks during the vigil because the helicopters would not leave us alone, hovering over the school for 24 hours a day. All Rights Reserved.

The people in the government who were voted into power are lying to us. I call you kids because you own the world. Or would you choose us, and if you answered us, will you act like it for once? To every politician who is taking donations from the NRA, shame on you.

If you agree, register to vote.

We call BS. LISTEN: Mia Freedman and Amelia Lester discuss the shooting at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Hotel that left 59 people dead. Thank you. Emma González (born November 11, 1999) is an American activist and advocate for gun control. Politicians who sit in their gilded House and Senate seats funded by the NRA telling us nothing could have been done to prevent this, we call BS.

All rights reserved.

PLEASE keep this fire lit. And how about we stop blaming the victims for something that was the student’s fault, the fault of the people who let him buy the guns in the first place, those at the gun shows, the people who encouraged him to buy accessories for his guns to make them fully automatic, the people who didn’t take them away from him when they knew he expressed homicidal tendencies, and I am not talking about the FBI. We certainly do not understand why it should be harder to make plans with friends on weekends than to buy an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa was the sole sponsor on this bill that stops the FBI from performing background checks on people adjudicated to be mentally ill and now he’s stating for the record, ‘Well, it’s a shame the FBI isn’t doing background checks on these mentally ill people.’ Well, duh. 2020 Bustle Digital Group.
It is because you have power. In Florida, to buy a gun you do not need a permit, you do not need a gun license, and once you buy it you do not need to register it.
