The political agendas, special interests and minority priorities are all stacked against making any progress.
Until or unless that changes, there will be no progress made. It is the elephant in the room that everybody pretends is not there.
Parkland is a rather well off place from what I gather that has people with a lot of connections. I still think this will be an important development with the kids, teachers and others getting involved with marches. And it looks like it is international thanks to Facebook, Tweeter and whatever the kids in 2018 are using to communicate with one another. They seem to find something new quite often.

The lobbyists are always a problem. But then something happens like with the tobacco lobby. Tobacco politics - Wikipedia They have had quiet victories though after various defeats.
