Washington protesters marched for gun control early Saturday. They shouted, "vote them out!" They marched in unison, chanting the rallying cry of the slogan.

Florida legislators and student activists were also present.
Everytown for Gun Safety
The nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety is lobbying lawmakers on issues of gun control. It spent $1.3 million on lobbying in the past year and showed that it is more likely to spend money on Democrats than Republicans. It also collaborates with many state-level agencies, including with ballot initiative boards. Bloomberg funds many of these groups, including the Californians for Responsible Gun Ownership and Nevadans for Background Checks. The South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is also funded.
March for Our Lives
The March for Our Lives was approved by the National Park Service. It will take place in Washington DC on March 24. The march comes just two days after the shooting at a Texas school. David Hogg is one of the shooting survivors and co-founded the March for Our Lives. Sister marches have been organized in 45 states. This movement focuses on gun regulation. The organizers claim they want to "make communities safer."
Students activists
Students took control of the country on Saturday by organizing marches, and calling on politicians to adopt new gun laws. The March for Our Lives was their first act of political activism, and a beginning of a new political awakening. The students' demands have so far been ignored by lawmakers, but the protests have sparked a new debate. What can be done about gun violence?
Florida lawmakers
The Republican-led Florida legislative session is entering its final week. There is a gun control drive underway. The goal is to remove Republican lawmakers who received campaign donations by the NRA and have consistently voted against gun controls legislation. Florida has been opposed to gun-control measures for a long time and holds an inordinate number of concealed weapon permits. It has strict laws that require you to "stand your grounds" and other matters that could lead the state to a gun massacre. NRA has given the state's current gun laws an F grade. Florida's governor, however, is A-plus rated and most legislators get an A+minus or higher.
Stoneman Douglas High School students
Florida shooting survivors inspired teens and organized the March for Our Lives to combat gun violence. On March 24, 2017, the march focused on federal background checking for firearm sales. Although a House bill was passed last month, the Senate remains undecided. Although March for Our Lives may not have reached its goal, students are still making their voices heard.
Remarks of President-elect Biden
Tonight's speech will be given by Vice President-elect Joe Biden in the White House Cross Hall. It is about gun control. This hallway is a red carpeted venue that has been host to many important speeches in the past, including George W. Bush’s speech about the invasion and Iraqi terrorists, to Barack Obama’s speech about his plan to defeat them. Biden today called on Congress to strengthen background checks for gun purchase and provide more mental health services to students.

How To
How to make a Deer Blind
A deer blind is a type of hunting device used to hide from game animals such as deer, elk, etc. It is usually made from wood or canvas and covered with branches or leaves. The hunter hides in the enclosure and waits to see if the animal passes. When hunting at nights, the hunter will often use a deerblind.
There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while some are permanent. They are made from materials such as plywood, cardboard and plastic.
The most commonly used type of deerblinds is the box blind (also called box stand), which consists of a wooden box with roof and walls. They are easy to construct and move.
A tree stand is another type of deer blind. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands are permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds may be camouflaged with grass or dirt, rocks, or even sand. Ground blinds can also be called "ground boxes".
There are several ways to hunt with deer blinds. One option is to just wait for the animal and then stand still. You could also move and try to scare it away. If this is your preferred method, keep quiet and don’t move too often. This could lead to an animal believing you are a threat and running off.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. The best place to use a deer blind is one where the wind will not blow your scent towards it. Avoid areas where people often hike.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
