The national gun control advocacy group “March for Our Lives” bus tour made a stop in Sioux City (Wednesday). A student from Marjorie Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, Jaclyn Corin was the keynote speaker. Seventeen people were killed during a February shooting at th high school and Corin talked about her advocacy to stop gun violence in the wake of the killings of her fellow students and teachers.
Corin says her group wants what she calls “morally just leaders” elected to political office. The bus tour is stopping in three Iowa Congressional districts represented by strong gun rights supporters. Corin criticized the National Rifle Association and its support of those lawmakers such as 4th District Congressmen Steve King
Corin and a student from Chicago talked to a predominantly Democratic audience of 100 people that included King’s opponent for Congress, J.D. Scholten and numerous local party leaders and supporters. Corin’s group then met with local high school students to discuss how to get young people out to vote.
