我要评论To mark the two-year anniversary of the deadly 2016 shootings at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, a group of student activists organized a National Die-In. 。
At 12 p.m. ET on Tuesday, high school students from across the country gathered on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.. There they dropped to the ground for 12 minutes, or 720 seconds, in protest of gun violence. 。
According to the organizers, the time represents "the approximate number of people who have died in mass shootings" since 49 people were killed in the Pulse Nightclub tragedy. 。

National Die-in Day is the latest in a series of 2018 protests that hope to inspire increased gun control laws. Since the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, there have been March For Our Lives events, National School Walkouts, and more. 。
In May, protestors and student activists from Parkland held a memorable die-in in a Publix supermarket in Florida to address the company's support of National Rifle Association-endorsed political candidates. 。
