actively to deal with the issues that seem to invariably surround these shootings? we know what the states are doing. but on the federal level, is there anything to give any hope for any kind of momentum? >> well, congress is certainly broke and has done nothing to end gun crime. i have hope. i believe the fact that this movement has become more led by kids, led my students that it's intersectional. it applies to all communities and all kinds of gun violence. that momentum that's being created by the kids marching out of school, and on washington is making a difference. to have young women call bs on every excuse every congress member has given to her. to someone stand up to rubio and say stop taking money from nra, that's going to change things. for every child marching and speaking out. they have parents. that will think of this differently. it's going to happen in red and blue and purple states. i am optimistic that when we flip the house and possibly the senate, our first vote can be on common sense gun reform.
