A group of California high schoolers has written their own gun control legislation and plans to introduce it to their local government, the Pasadena Star-News reported.
Students in a government class at Alhambra High School, located outside of Los Angeles, wrote up the resolution in the wake of the mass shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school earlier this year.
They plan to present the measure to their student government, school boards, teachers’ union and the City Council over the next few weeks, the Star-News reported.
The resolution raises the minimum age to purchase a gun from 18 to 25, requires shooting and safety training for gun owners, stops online sales of firearms and closes the gun show loophole for gun purchases.
