Manuel Oliver is someone who knows all too well the devastation caused by semi-automatic rifles. He and his wife, Patricia, lost their 14-year-old son, Joaquin, in the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Since then, he's become an advocate for gun violence prevention. He and his wife have also co-founded a nonprofit called Change the Ref.
"I would love to prevent things — the shooting of tomorrow, you know, the shooting of after tomorrow," he said."And I'm not always trying to, like these politicians, bring silly solutions to the shooting from yesterday or days before." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis supports a bill that has already passed Florida's Housethat lowers the minimum age to buy a rifle from 21 to 18.
Oliver said while change takes time, he and his wife will continue to fight alongside progressive youth in America who are fighting for gun violence prevention, among other things, to ensure American children will have a better future. "It takes a little time, sadly, but true. It would also take a lot of victims, but we're going to stay here," Oliver said."I don't have to explain to you that I have nothing to lose here. I will fight this until my last day.
