Dismantle. Don't you come back here."
"The fact that [the NRA] was in power for so long just goes to show how much time we need to spend fixing our country," Parkland student Emily Gonzalez said.

Fellow student David Hogg added "If you can't get elected without taking money from child murderers, why are you even running?"
