WATCH: Parkland Students Warn NRA-Owned Lawmakers ‘We Are Coming After Every Single One of You’
‘No Longer Can You Take Money From the NRA’ Student Delaney Tarr Says
Delaney Tarr is one of many students who lived through last week’s Parkland, Florida massacre who are flat-out warning lawmakers who refuse to take action on guns that their days as elected officials are coming to an end. Tarr is one of many students who lived through the Parkland, Florida massacre in which 17 students and school staff were shot to death with an assault weapon.
“No longer can you take money from the NRA,” Tarr said at a rally in Tallahassee Wednesday afternoon. “We are coming after every single one of you and demanding that you take action, demanding that you make a change.”

“We want privatized selling to be completely reformed so that you can’t walk in to a building with $130 and walk out with an AR-15,” she told supporters.

“We’ve had enough of ‘thoughts and prayers,'” she said. “We’ve had enough of ‘we support you so much’ because we know that that is not true.”
Tarr went on to say “we’ve heard enough,” and cut down lawmakers who “dance around our questions” by offering only lip service without action.Â
