Activist group places 'three billboards outside Miami' to call out Rubio on gun control

An activist group is trolling Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) with a “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"-style protest urging him to act on gun control.

Activist group Avaaz placed the billboards, which are on the sides of three trucks, outside Rubio’s headquarters in Miami in the days following Wednesday's shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead and at least 14 injured.

“Slaughtered in school, and still no gun control?” the billboards read. “How come, Marco Rubio?”

In the Oscar-nominated film "Three Billboards," a grieving mother rents out the title objects to call attention to local police's handling of her daughter’s rape and murder.
