In her speech, Gonzalez spoke out against gun violence by responding to the lack of gun control action by politicians with the tagline “We call B.S.”

Traditionally, a person would be spanked the same amount as their age plus one more for growth as good luck. If a person didn't receive a birthday spanking, it would be considered bad luck or “soften up the body for the tomb". Today, this birthday custom is considered more as a prank.
