"Let's make a deal DO NOT come to Florida for spring break unless gun legislation is passed. These (politicians) won't listen to us so maybe (they'll) listen to the billion dollar tourism industry in FL," David Hogg tweeted Saturday.

"Better Idea: Spend your spring break in Puerto Rico, it's a beautiful place with amazing people. They could really use the economic support that the government has failed to provide," he said in a separate tweet.
