Student activists from the March for Our Lives movement unveiled a new plan they say will cut gun-related deaths by half over the next decade.
“It is an appropriate and bold response to the massive amount of gun deaths we have every single year in the United States right now,” said David Hogg, a Parkland survivor and one of the co-founders of March for Our Lives to NBC News. “ We need actual federal policy and a plan.”
Among many of the plan’s points, branded under the acronym C.H.A.N.G.E, is a proposal to raise the national standard for gun ownership, create a national licensing and registry system, enact a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and create a national gun buy-back program. In an effort to fast track the next generation of voters, the plan also argues for automatic voter registration at age 18.
March for Our Lives organizers say legislators should recognize the gun violence epidemic as a “public health crisis” and “declare a national emergency” in order to properly combat the issue, which is receiving pushback from pro-gun advocates.
