Welcome to cbs this morning. Survivors of the florida scoot shooting are taking their demands for gun control directly to the people in power. Last night, students and parents confronted senator rubio about why the type of rifle used by the gunman has not been outlawed. If i believed that law would have prevented this from happening, i would support it. But i want to explain to you why it would not. Senator rubio was booed for his response to a father who lost his daughter last week at Marjory Stoneman douglas high school. That town hall meeting on live tv followed a very emotional meeting at the white house in the afternoon.

Is the president offered a series of possible remedies including one controversial idea, letting teachers carry guns. Hell continue the School Safety debate today, meeting with state and local officials. Margaret brennan is at the white house. Margaret, good morning. Reporter good morning. It was an extraordinary gesture, to bring cameras into the room with the grieving, and it shows the president is hearing the outcry and is willing to at least consider taking action. I want to listen and then after i listen, were going to get things done. Reporter one by one, survivors of School Shootings and their family members shared their pain.

I dont understand why i can still go to the store and buy a weapon of war. Reporter as for possible solution, President Trump focused on strengthening background checks, increasing Mental Health services and even Arming School staff. If you had a teacher with who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly. This is my son daniel. Reporter mark barden lost his 6yearold son just over five years ago in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. School teachers have more than enough responsibilities right now than to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life. It did make a difference. They needed to hear it from us students. Now were leaving it up to him to make the change that we need. Reporter after meeting with the president , cbs news spoke with some of the students who said listening is not enough. He heard our cries. And he talked to us. And i think he understood where we were coming from. But the nra wasnt there. Reporter zief said Arming Teachers is not the answer. This is a problem because guns were brought into our school. Why would it make sense to bring more guns into school . Reporter now, take a look at a picture captured by a photographer in the room who saw the handwritten notes that the president carried with him. Questions like, what can we do to make your feel safe. And simply, i hear you. Now that appeared to be the president s main message. Thats exactly right. Margaret, thank you so much.

Rubio was confronted by the father of one victim, 14yearold jamie guttenberg. Your comments this week and those of our president have been pathetically weak. Look at me and tell me guns were the factor in the hunting of our kids in this school this week, and look at me and tell me you accept it and you will work with us to do something about guns. Eid say the problems were facing here today cannot be solved by gun laws alone. Were guns a factor in the hunting of our kids . Of course they were, of course they were. Reporter republican senator said hed consider raising the age limit to buy a rifle, banning bump stocks, improving the background check system and reducing the size of magazines for bullets. The nra spokeswoman told the audience more should be done to keep dangerous individuals from having guns but law abiding gun owners should not be punished. I thought it was a terrific display of democracy. Yes. Where people feel they can challenge lawmakers, you know, people who facetoface. And i actually commend senator rubio for going, knowing he was going to be heavily criticized and booed. President trump. Most president s i dont think would have allowed cameras in that session because it was so personal and painful. I was glad we got to see it. Me, too. Talking is not enough now.
