The American pro-gun lobby group the National Rifle Association has filed a federal lawsuit over gun control legislation that had just been signed into law in Florida. The NRA says the law which raises the legal age to buy guns from 18 to 21 violates the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. The legislation was put forward in the wake of the Parkland school shooting in Florida. Our correspondent in Washington Chris Buckler says student activism for further gun controls will carry on. It is true that those students have brought this to the front pages and really put the pressure on politicians. They are continuing to try to bring forward their campaign and put it back into people's mind on a conscience basis. At the end of the month, they organize the march that will take place here in Washington, and also there will be marches elsewhere in America. This is called the March for Our Lives and it's an attempt to try and change the gun laws not just in Florida but right across America.
