Parkland Students vs. the NRA on Gun Control | FRONTLINE

Learn how students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, launched a gun control campaign that inspired national politicians and New York’s top law enforcement officer to take on the National Rifle Association, in this video excerpt from FRONTLINE. In February 2018, a gunman opened fire at the school, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more. In the midterm elections that followed, Democrats, many running in support of gun control, gained control of the House of Representatives. Following her own election in 2018, New York State Attorney General Letitia James launched an investigation of possible financial misconduct within the NRA.
