{{Main|Stoneman Douglas High School shooting}}
In February 2018 a school shooting at a high school in Florida left 17 dead and another 17 injured, and student survivors organized a movement called [[Never Again MSD]] to demand passage of certain gun control measures. Many of the students blamed the NRA, and the politicians who accept money from the organization, for preventing enactment of any gun control proposals after previous high-profile shootings.<ref name=twsAxios423>{{cite news|title=Parkland student: Politicians accepting NRA money are against shooting victims|url=https://www.axios.com/parkland-student-politicians-accepting-nra-money-e7b89d81-1662-496f-b121-b6b9a8630286.html?|date=February 19, 2018|website=[[Axios (website)|Axios]]|access-date=February 22, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.npr.org/2018/02/16/586616026/students-who-survived-florida-shooting-want-politicians-to-know-theyre-angry | title=Students Who Survived Florida Shooting Want Politicians To Know They're Angry | work=[[All Things Considered]]| publisher=[[NPR]] | date=February 16, 2018 | access-date=February 18, 2018 }}</ref> An NRA spokesman responded by blaming the shooting on the FBI and the media.<ref name = Zurawik>{{cite news|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/z-on-tv-blog/bs-fe-zontv-nra-stoneman-douglas-pr-battle-20180226-story.html|title=The NRA is getting trounced by Stoneman Douglas students in the PR battle over gun control|last=Zurawik|first=David|date=March 1, 2018|newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]]|access-date=March 8, 2018|archive-date=March 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180309054540/http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/z-on-tv-blog/bs-fe-zontv-nra-stoneman-douglas-pr-battle-20180226-story.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The NRA also issued a statement that the incident was proof that more guns were immediately required in schools in the hands of a bolstered force of armed security personnel in order to "harden" them against any further similar assaults.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/02/22/after-silence-on-parkland-nra-pushes-back-against-law-enforcement-the-media-and-gun-control-advocates/ "NRA goes on the offensive after Parkland shooting, assailing media and calling for more armed school security"] ''Washington Post''.

In May 2018, [[Cameron Kasky]]'s father and other Parkland parents formed a [[Political action committee#Super PACs|super PAC]], Families vs Assault Rifles PAC (FAMSVARPAC), with a stated goal of going "up against NRA candidates in every meaningful race in the country". The organization seeks federal legislation to ban "the most dangerous firearms", while not affecting the Second Amendment.<ref name="Smiley">{{cite web | url=http://www.miamiherald.com/latest-news/article212173729.html | title=Parkland parents launch a Super PAC to go after politicians and the NRA | work=[[Miami Herald]] | date=May 30, 2018 | access-date=May 30, 2018 | last=Smiley | first=David}}</ref><ref name=Huriash>{{cite web | url=http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/parkland/florida-school-shooting/fl-sb-douglas-parents-families-rifles-pac-20180529-story.html | title=Parkland parents set up PAC to take on NRA | work=[[Sun-Sentinel]] | date=May 30, 2018 | access-date=May 30, 2018 | last=Huriash | first=Lisa}}</ref><ref name=Schallhorn>{{cite web | url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/parkland-parents-create-super-pac-to-oppose-nra-backed-politicians | title=Parkland parents create super PAC to oppose NRA-backed politicians | work=[[Fox News]] | date=May 31, 2018 | access-date=May 31, 2018 | last=Schallhorn | first=Kaitlyn}}</ref>
