Difference. We must actually make a difference. Shepard and we wait to find out what that means. An around our nations capitol today, students walked out of class and they marched to call for change in gun laws and a change in our culture. Exactly one week after the Florida School shooting that left 17 people dead. Now were seeing similar protests grow in several cities. Including floridas capitol where hundreds have gathered. Among them, survivors of the high School Shooting that are asking lawmakers to make changes to make them safer. We just want to change their mindset and put them in our place and show them what it was like to be trapped in the school. Shepard today the children lead. The calls for change across the nation and the emotional words from the student survivors. Lets get to it. Good wednesday afternoon from the fox news deck. Never again. Thats the twoword message from the thousands and thousands of students across the country who have walked out of classes, marching on capitols, demanding changes to the nations gun laws and threatening to remove politicians that refuse to address new gun control measures. [chanting]. Students united, never be divided. Thats students in tallahassee moments ago inside the State Capitol. Theyre trying to get to the governors office. Students coming out in force. Among them, students from Marjory Stoneman douglas. Police say the gunman pulled a fire alarm, waited for his former classmates and teachers and others to gather and then he gunned them down. Im here to demand change. The laws should be used for a catalyst of change in our country today. We will make change and if not today, tomorrow. And if not tomorrow, the day after that and the day after that until we achieve the change that we want in this country. No one should ever have to go through what we went through. 17 of our classmates and teachers were murdered at the hands of a mentally unstable monster. Something that easily could have been prevented by a proper background check and a Mental Health exam. An evil board with a weapon of war took 17 people from their families. I dont know exactly what needs to be done. I know what were doing now is nowhere near enough. If i have to keep seeing neighbors die, if i have to keep seeing friends die and i have to keep seeing other people on the news deal with this same tragedy. They do not deserve this. America does not deserve this. Humanity does not deserve this. Never again. Never again. Never again should a child be afraid to go to school. Never again should students have to protest for their lives. Never again should an innocent life be taken while trying to gain an education. Never again should i feel guilty to be alive because peter, carmen, scott, feis, hickson, cara, martin, luke, gina and alex are not. Shepard and the children lead. Students from parkland and other schools in florida including College Students at the State Capitol in tallahassee. Some of the students that survived last weeks shooting said they were awake nearly all night traveling the seven hours by bus preparing for their meetings with lawmakers. They didnt rally. They met, they spoke and they listened. The same young men and women dealing with the hate and the baseless accusations on top of the harrowing ordeal theyve already been through. Its unthinking what is happening to them now. Conspiracy theorists are pedalling lies that are the students are political pawns that activists are behind their protests. Youtube has removed a video in which they suggested that one student was actually a crisis actor. That video was the top trending video on youtubes list. Students not only having to respond to the lies and the hate, but people that say theyre too young to have a full grasp of the big issues. And others that say because of what they went through, the students are just lashing out. Those very students that watched their friends die say they have every right to lead this charge. A lot of people think that disqualifies us from having an opinion on this sort of matter. Because weve been through a traumatic experience that we dont know what were talking about. Were speaking irrationally. I want everybody to remember, thats not the case. We more than anybody else understand the violence that comes from certain guns. We more than anybody else understand what it feels like to lose somebody. We more than anybody else understand what its like to have a beautiful community, like parkland and have it taken away from us by the media and by everybody else and by nikolas cruz who just ruined its image. Parkland is a beautiful, safe town. And its now ruined. Shepard as the students from parkland made their way to tallahassee, lawmakers in florida voted down a measure to stop people from buying assault weapons like the one that investigators say the gunman used in parkland. It didnt even come up for a vote in the state house. But in no way has that outcome hindered the demonstrations. This is kentucky where students are chanting no more guns as they walked out of classes today. They did this for 17 minutes. One minute for every one that died in parkland. Similar scene in minneapolis at a high school where students walked out there. They marched to the city hall chanting no guns in our schools. And in our nations capitol. Your hand, our blood they chanted. Students on capitol hill trying to send their own message and outside the white house, Students Holding another liein. A nod to all those killed by gun violence. Demonstrators are still out even as schools close or get ready to dismiss. Students screaming for change, concerned that lawmakers might turn the page again. We have team fox coverage. John roberts on President Trumps sitdown with School Shooting survivors in the last hour. First, rich edson is on foxs top story. Hes live in tallahassee. Rich, what are you hearing from these kids . Some of the parkland students are telling us they fear as though theyre lobbying efforts have fallen short. That they have not convinced enough lawmakers to change the gun laws in the state of florida. So what do you do when that happens . You continue lobbying. They went back to the state house after a day of rallying, after a day of lobbying and now inside and now chanting. Theyre chanting you work for us. Vote them out. Where is rick scott, governor of florida and hear us now. A massive rally on the steps of the old Florida State house behind us here. That kicked off this morning into the afternoon and included students from local high schools, from the high school in florida, parkland, florida and people from Florida State and other gun control lobbyists lobbying for gun control changing. Inside the state house, recapping the tragic lifechanging events from a week ago and pushing representatives here to change florida guns laws. The only reason that weve gotten so far is because were not afraid of losing money, were not afraid of getting reelected or not. We have nothing to lose. The only thing we have to gain is our safety. Senate president s office tells us the next couple weeks, which is the remainder of the annual session here in floridas legislature, they will be working on some gun control measures, only School Safety measures and Mental Health measures. They have a couple weeks and then theyre out for the year. This hes a spread quickly i guess through social media . It has. Those that organized the womans march are now looking at a separate event in march for students to walk out for 17 minutes. The number of students that were killed in that shooting last week. Theres also an effort on april 20th to commemorate the 19year anniversary of the columbine shooting. Now theres a report out of houston at a nearby texas high school, the principal is threatening to demonstrate students if they walk out of class. Shepard rich edson in tallahassee. President trump is expected to meet with survivors of gun violence, including a dozen students from marjory stone man douglas in parkland. The president said hes taking steps to banning bump stocks and the president says hes asking the Justice Department to look into a way to ban all devices that turn legal weapons to machine guns. Police say the las vegas shooter used bump stocks when he slaughtered more than 50 people last fall. President trump says hes open to improving the background check system and raising the minimum age to buy a gun. A new poll from Quinnipiac University shows 97 of americans favor mandatory background checks for all purchases. We dont have it. Not really close to it. Chris murphy from connecticut cosponsored the latest background check bill. He said if this is all the white house is willing to do, its wholly insufficient. Team fox coverage continues with john roberts on the north lawn. John . The president will have the meeting this afternoon and he will likely hear the same pleas for change that we heard from tallahassee and those students. Heres who will be attending. 15 to 20 students, teachers and parents from Marjory StonemanDouglas High School, davis hogg who you have seen on the air and many programs was invited. He wanted to go to the tallahassee rally so hes not coming to the white house. There will be members of sandy hog promise. This san Efficacy Group created by parents whose children were killed in sandy hook, connecticut several years ago as well as representatives from rachels challenge who aims to lower violence in schools. They have had some sort of experience with gun violence or School Violence in general. The president will be in listening mode, listening to some ideas. He does have some things hes been kicking around already. One you mentioned at the top, considering raising the minimum age for buying a weapon. Its 21 for a handgun, 18 for a long gun, which includes rifles and assaultstyle rifles and shotguns. We dont know what the president might consider raising that too or if he can do it because much of this falls to the states. The president may find himself in a position of advocacy on this particular issue. He wants to look at ways to keep guns out of the hands of people that shouldnt have them, mentally ill people. Weve seen so many deranged shooters take so many lives in the last decades here in the united states. The president thinks that its probably time to do something about that. You mentioned, shep that he supported tightening up the background checks. He supports the Cornyn Murphy bill, which would compel an incentive a series of incentives to have state and local officials and governments and federal agencies, all report more efficiently and more effectively to the nics system. Youve been hearing the students calling for an assault weapons ban. Thats likely not going to happen. People against that would point to the fact that columbine happened in the middle of the 1994 to 2004 assault weapons ban. More ahead on keeping children safe from shootings. Well show you whats happening right now at the scene of the latest attack. What weve learned about the violent past of the accused parkland florida shooter. Thats coming up from the fox news deck on this wednesday afternoon. Fender bender tonight in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. But what a powerful life lesson.

Other students gathering at the site of this massacre. This has been the scene outside Marjory Stoneman douglas all day. Students from nearby schools walking out of class and joining in the rally. Steve harrigan is live with more. We saw yesterday a lot of students are coming from nearby schools. Some walked for miles. Theyve been carrying signs and chanting antigun slogans. We talked to a few of them and asked why they were here today. We know we have little power. As a people, we are strong. Thats what our government is based on. What the people want, the people should get. Weve walked miles to come to Stoneman Douglas to make a difference. Thats our voice. That was a tenth grader and a ninth grader. Both with a pretty clear idea why theyre here today, shepard. Shepard we had heard reporting along the way that this alleged shooter had been expelled from that school but now we learn thats not true . Thats right. Nikolas cruz, the suspected shooter, 19 years old who is in solitary confinement, was shuttled back and forth between six didnt schools here. One of those was for special needs. The problem with those schools are, it takes a great deal of paperwork, time and effort to get into those schools. One Florida School administrator said because youre afraid of a kid doesnt mean you can kick him out completely. Shepard . Shepard Steve Harrigan at the school in broward county. Ahead, the president set to sit down with parents, students and teachers affected by the most tragic attacks. Could the gun laws change . Could that happen .

Shepard so President Trump is set to meet less than an hour with parents, students and teachers affected by the worst School Shootings in modern world history. The white house says theyre open to tougher regulations on guns but some gun control supporters say its not enough. Lets turn to john bussey from the wall street journal. And bob bianchi. Well talk about the news on this and the law on this. Bob, you said during the commercial break, this feels from different from others of this kind . Yes. After vegas, what did we hear from the political infrastructure . Hey, lets not address this in the heat of the moment. Its too soon. Lets wait for tempers to calm down. Guess what . It wasnt addressed. It was kind of a method of pushing it to the side. This time it looks like theres a bit more traction. These demonstrations in florida, the visits to the white house. The question is how much is political theater. Its an observation on the part of our political structure that hey, there does to seem to be more traction. Moms and dads across the country are worrying about sending their kids to school. That shepard beginning to . Yeah, were well down that road. This is an issue that crosses political lines very easily. How much of this is having people into the white house, you know, observing this, really just a way of kind of giving having a political slop . Well find out. How . The question will be what gets done. Bump stocks is. That enough to placate a public that is getting more energized about this . Weve seen polls. People want tougher gun laws. Bump stocks were an ancillary part of the debate. Its not the gun itself. Its not the age, its not the background checks, its not the more substantial gun control that a lot of gun control advocates are looking for. Shepard the two matters that the white house is discussing at this moment are two matters that the nra has not come out in opposition to directly. Yes. Thats correct. Shepard but theres nothing that theyre coming out and saying lets do this that the nra is against. Theyre listening to the nra and listening to gun advocates, in which there are many. And worry that bump stocks may seem ancillary to you, but theyre not. Theres a cascade of legislation that restricts how im allowed to use my weapon. The white house is hearing all of that. Youre right. The bump stocks is just not going to be an issue as far as the nra is concerned. The question will be whether or not these demonstrations and other political activity get more traction and whether this time parents are saying, you know, i dont want more cops in the school. Yeah, that will help to some extend. Are you talking to me about turning the hallways into shooting galleries
