On Saturday, March 24th, as over 1 million people worldwide were preparing for March for Our Lives protests, Democrats Abroad and other guests met at Bucerius Law School to talk about gun control in the wake of the Parkland shooting. The members of the panel - Joana O'Neil, Jared Ozga and Alex Severance - each brought a unique perspective on gun ownership and legislation surrounding firearms. Americans and Germans in the audience had questions, and the conversation could have continued beyond the planned two hours.
Special thanks to the Gruene Hochschulgruppe at Bucerius for hosting this event and making it possible for it to take place at their university. We hope to put together other joint events with them in the future.
