The organizers say they want "to make our communities safer."
Student 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 debut act of political activism. It marked the start of a new political awakening. While lawmakers have not yet responded to the demands of students, protests have opened up new avenues for discussion. What can be done to end gun violence?
Florida lawmakers
The Republican-led Florida legislature is now in its final week. A gun control drive is currently underway. The goal is for Republican legislators to be reelected who have received campaign contributions from the NRA and consistently voted against gun regulation legislation. Florida has opposed gun control measures since its inception and currently holds a large number of concealed weapons permits. It also has strict laws on "stand your ground" and other issues that could lead to a gun massacre. NRA rates the state's gun laws as "F" although Florida's governor is A+ and most legislators are A-minus.
Stoneman Douglas High school students
Florida shooting survivors inspired teens and organized the March for Our Lives to combat gun violence. The march, which took place on March 24, 2013, was focused on federal background check for firearm sales. Although a House bill was passed last month, the Senate remains undecided. Although March for Our Lives might not have achieved its goal yet the students are making sure their voices are heard.

How To
How to pick the best hunting spots in the forest
When hunting in good areas, the first thing to do is identify what type of game you want to hunt. There are many types of wildlife and birds that live within forests. If you don't know what kind of animal you want to hunt, there won't be any places where they can be caught.
There are two major types of forest animals: small and large mammals. The large mammals are deer, elks and moose as well as caribou, bears, wolves, wild boar, and caribou. Small animals include rabbits, squirrels, hares, grouse, pheasant, partridge, quail, woodcock, pigeon, and dove. Each species has its own habitat so it is important to choose the right spot before you venture out into the woods. To find out if there are endangered species in your area, you can search the online flora-fauna list. You must ensure that your hunting area is protected from poaching if it's a species you wish to hunt.
You will need to be able to set up your equipment properly if you are going to hunt a specific species. The success rate of hunting a particular species will be affected if you don't use the right equipment. If you are hunting rabbits, for example, you will need a gun capable of accurately shooting at close range. However, if your goal is to hunt larger animals like deer or elk, you will need a rifle that can shoot long distances. You will also need bait to lure the prey. Some people recommend placing meat inside a trap to lure the animal, while others prefer using corn or peanut butter. No matter what method you use, you must adhere to the laws and regulations in the country you are hunting.
Consider the following factors when selecting a hunting spot: weather conditions, terrain and vegetation, wildlife population, accessibility, etc. Safety is the main consideration when hunting. Choose a location that is safe from predators and dangerous wildlife. Avoid areas with too many people, especially during hunting seasons. Hunting seasons are important as they will help you choose the best times to hunt.
The weather is also important when you are choosing a hunting spot. This is vital as it affects the number and species of animals that are likely to be present. The ground is covered in snow when the temperature drops to below zero Celsius. It can be difficult to find deer, bears and wolves under the snowy layer, so it is often hard to spot them. If you are lucky enough to have clear skies, you may be capable of seeing these animals. However, summer temperatures reach above 30°C and the sun warms earth. To escape heat, animals seek shelter. This makes it easier to locate them.
Also, consider the terrain. Flat surfaces make it easier to run and walk through the area. However, uneven surfaces can be more difficult. Steep slopes make it more difficult to climb. Additionally, streams and rivers often leave muddy tracks. So that you can navigate the area easily, try to find a spot without any obstacles.
In addition to the terrain, you should also look at the vegetation. Plants vary in size, density and depend on their environment. Large trees provide shade and cover for smaller animals, while shrubs and bushes offer hiding places for smaller animals. Dense vegetation is the best option if you are looking for large animals.
Finally, you should also pay attention to the amount of wildlife. Statistics show that there are over 100 million deer in North America. They consume almost half the food grown by crops and play an important role in conserving biodiversity. If the population grows, it could cause problems for the ecosystem and make them pests. It's vital to balance the population.
