Another tragic school shooting, five years after the Parkland massacre.

When a gunman terrorized the Michigan State University campus on Monday night, killing three students and injuring five more before taking his own life, students like Cathy Danna barricaded themselves in their dorm rooms.

“It was scary to even hear someone close the door,” Danna said.

More than 1,300 miles away, Florida remembers a school shooting that killed 17 students and injured 17 more five years ago on Tuesday.

“Tuesday we will spend alone with my daughter in the cemetery. This is how we do it every year,” said Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was killed in the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Since the death of his daughter, Guttenberg has campaigned tirelessly for more restrictions on gun purchases.

He praised the bipartisan gun reform bill signed last summer by President Biden, the first of its kind in nearly 30 years.

“I am hopeful,” Guttenberg said when asked about the future of gun laws in the US, “but we need another election. With this current house, with these current leaders in the house who refuse to take security seriously, we will have to fire them. But I think we can do it.”

While some supporters are praising increased gun control at the national level, at the state level, Florida could expand gun rights in the coming months.

With overwhelming majorities in both houses of the state legislature, the Republicans unveiled their plans for illegal wear.

The bills, backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, would allow Florida residents to carry concealed weapons without the currently required permits and training.

“We have a God-given and constitutional right to protect our families,” said Senator Jay Collins (R) Tampa.

Over the past five years, Florida has spent almost a billion dollars to improve security on school campuses.

Another change could come as early as next month when the state legislature returns to its regular session.

DeSantis says the legislature will consider changing how juries decide death penalty cases.

Right now, the sentencing phase requires unanimous support for the execution of the death penalty.

DeSantis wants to change that to a supermajority after Parkland shooter Nicholas Cruz was spared the death penalty.

“When it happened, it was a bitter pill to swallow,” DeSantis said. “So all I can say is that we’re doing something about it.”
