Students Activists Walk Out for Background Checks Parkland School Shooter Passed | Breitbart: As student activists walked out of class Friday morning, they did so demanding passage of a gun control requirement that the Parkland school shooter fulfilled in order to acquire his gun.

CNN reports that the students walked out for numerous gun controls, one of which was universal background checks.

It is important to realize that the U.S. adopted background checks on retail gun sales in 1998. In fact, it is illegal to buy a new or used firearm at retail without passing such a check. Universal background checks are the same, exact checks we have now – they simply apply to private sales as well as retail. But a background check is a background check.
