Survivors of Parkland High School Massacre Unveil Plan to Curb Gun Violence
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parkland student activists who survived the 2018 mass shooting at
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida have unveiled an
ambitious plan to tackle gun violence. The March for Our Lives "Peace
Plan" would create a national gun licensing and registry system, ban
assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and create a national
buy-back program for firearms. It would also see federal officials
declare a national emergency around gun violence, name a national
director of gun violence prevention, and would register eligible voters
and mail voter registration cards to all Americans when they turn 18.
