Advocacy for Gun Control Following Parkland Shooting

Following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, Wade became an outspoken advocate for stricter gun control laws, meeting with victims' families and supporting the 'March for Our Lives' movement.

Notes: Wade dedicated his return to the Miami Heat to Joaquin Oliver, a victim of the shooting.

Agent rationale

Gun control is a core wedge issue where Wade's public stance is diametrically opposed to the MAGA platform's emphasis on Second Amendment absolutism.
