Where Other Mass Shootings Have Failed To Spark Concrete Changes, Parkland Seems To Be Gaining Some Traction

Shootings on school grounds resonate with everyone, said Adam Lankford, a University of Alabama criminology professor who researches mass shootings. "By law you have to send your kids to school," he said. "People can say to themselves, 'Well I don't go to nightclubs,' but everyone's kids go to school. ... Same thing with Vegas. A lot of people don't go to concerts on the Vegas strip. That's a different world to them. But everyone can relate to the school situation." Meanwhile, doctors who have been outraged over NRA's suggestion to "stay in their lane" are taking their fight to Congress.
