The Day the Gun Debate Changed – Ladd Everitt – Medium

When a nationally-televised audience from Florida enthusiastically embraced a ban on ALL semiautomatic rifles, America’s conversation about guns changed irrevocably. The most remarkable moment I have witnessed during my 18 years as a gun violence prevention advocate (volunteer and professional) occurred last night during CNN’s “Stand Up: The Students of [Marjory] Stoneman Douglas [High School] Demand Action” town hall meeting when Fred Guttenberg — the father of 14 year-old Jaime Guttenberg, who was shot and killed at the school on February 14 — confronted Florida Senator Marco Rubio on the issue of assault weapons. Guttenberg informed Senator Rubio that his daughter was shot in the back while running away from the deranged student gunman who perpetrated the attack.
