Georgia Students Demand Stricter Gun Laws

In response to a recent deadly school shooting at Apalachee High School, students across Georgia staged walkouts and rallies demanding stricter gun laws. Demonstrations were organized by groups like March for Our Lives and the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, calling for the passage of the Pediatric Health Safe Storage Act, which would penalize those who make firearms accessible to children. Students argued that current solutions like increased security measures are inadequate, advocating instead for comprehensive gun policy reform. At the state capitol, young activists, including children as young as five, voiced their frustrations and demanded legislative action to prevent further tragedies. The recent protests highlight a growing movement among youth to push for significant changes in gun legislation to ensure safer schools.
