#NEVERAGAIN: After one too many tragedies, gun laws must be reformed

(02/21/18 4:50am)

Last year, I graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. While there, I grew close with many underclassmen and made promises to visit with cookies and hugs. I never imagined that my beautiful and bright friends would become survivors of a massacre. They saw their school become a warzone as they were attacked by a terrorist (not a child, as some headlines may report) with a semiautomatic rifle. I watched the videos students had taken during the shooting. Classrooms I had once sat in were littered with shattered glass and riddled with bullet holes. Hallways I used to roam became stained with the blood of children.
