the ad was supported by giffords run by gab by giffords. joining me now is giffords' executive director. we heard rick scott would support raising the age to 21 for some of the gunurases. i'm curious reaction and these mite shifts could hurt the efforts to attack those types of republican politicians that hava historically been supportive of the guns. >> that's a response primarily to the grassroots energy that is cong from the students in parkland and all across the country. you see it here in california and across the bay area. >> and soth do you k, i mean, this is a good thing for folks who want more on the side of gun safety? could it potentially make it a little more muddled when we're going into the 2018 midterm elections? gt's aat thing. i mean, have to be careful to not be too tacto al. you have loo at the sort whole truths around politicians like governor rick scott. like you said, he's been an a-plus rated governor of state of the florida by the nra. florida itself has been a laboratory for the most dangerous pro firearm policy th

amy: lindsay nichols, you work for the giffords law center to prevent gun violence. that is get a giffords, the converse woman from tucson, arizona, who was gunned down in a parking lot of a a bullet to r brain and yet a amazingly, enen, she survived. she has been fighting along with her husband, the astronaut, to bring gun control to this country. what do you think are the most important acts now, now in the media -- i'm not even talking fox, but the other networks, they will merely say, well, and automatic weapons ban is ofoff e table, already e excepting the terms of the debate have been so far. but what are you demanding now? --t would make people say safer in this country? >> we are working to strengthen the background check system, and that means focusing on things like record reporting, focusing things on like getting a process for getting people into the background check system. these are really our focus is because we want to make sure the proper vetting occurs that law enforcement has the opportunity to provide input into that -- into whether a person shoul

i'm glad congresswoman giffords and mark kelly have started an organization to stand up to the washington gun lobby that has the radical "guns everywhere" agenda. >> daniel hernandez, now an arizona state representative, thank you for being here. >> i'm sorry that i have to be here. thanks for having me, chris. >> yamiche alcindor and phillip rucker, yamiche, what was it like there today? >> today, like at the white house, i think that president donald trump's response was something that was i think incredible for this administration in that he wouldn't go on camera. there was no briefing today. he called a lid. unlike president obama who was on cameras and was known as the comforter in chief, you have a president governing by twitter. so some people think that the president has spoken about this, he's offered his concondolences, says federal officials can offer the state support. but this idea that donald trump, who is outspoken on so many issues, has yet to be in front of a camera to speak about this. i should tell you, i covered newtown, connecticut, parents there, after the shooting,

thank you and our best to congresswoman giffords. >> thanks for having me on. >> you bet. joining us now from parkland, florida is the superintendent of broward county public schools. superintendent, first of all, our condolences to you, to your faculty, to your students, your community. i was really struck by you standing at the same news briefing with governor scott about an hour ago. he brushed off questions about gun laws at a briefing last night. i know you're in a moment of crisis but you were very straightforward in saying that something has to be done. >> that's correct. i think we have a responsibility to our students, to our community to push for what we know is right. this tragedy makes it very clear that we need to push for more common sense, for gun laws. our students are contacting me, school board members and they're saying, look, you need to start this conversation. we need to have a conversation in this country now on this issue of gun control. secondly, we need to invest in mental health services and supports for our young people to make sure we're provid

website, there is a on gabby giffords this must be the reason the shooter got involved. >> laura: the county sheriff said jared lautner targeted the tea party in his comments, he said the tea party creates this atmosphere. where people are triggered. they triggered the sky, like the tea party is to blame. he said he listened to talk radio at some point. >> with the times square bomber in 2010, the guy may have set up this bomb because he was upset with the health care plan. we have to be careful of these political motives, we undercut real investigative reporting and law enforcement's discoveries and we miss the human dimension. what might be motivating these kids to enact horrible violence on their peers and discovering the next kid. you hit it, i think it's right on. >> laura: the rush to politicize always seems to go in one direction. meanwhile we will talk to steve scully's coming up. a bernie sanders supporter shot him but we don't hear about that anymore. >> strange how they deep-sixed that. it's a fast-moving story. >> laura: most of us can only imagine the horror of surviving

his wife, remember, former congresswoman gabby giffords, severely wounded in a mass shooting.id jolly, former republican congressman from florida. thank you, gentlemen, for joining me. david, i'll start with you because as you looked at the cover, you were on the show last night you said -- you said that people in congress -- people in the congress, meaning senate and congress, need to do something. your republican colleagues need to do something. anything you see today, you think that changed their minds? >> no. in fact i think the voice of the president kind of was -- was everything that this issue will be to him. he is going to suggest it's mental health and let this kind of fade away like so often happens. look, mental health is an issue, one of the underlying issues in all of these shootings. but republicans typically use mental health as a way to distract from dealing with guns. and don't actually ever offer a mental health solution. they eventually just walk away from this issue. you know, it's been a tough 24 hours. and don, i was thinking -- i would like to share a li

let's go to robin thomas, executive director of the gifford's law center to prevent gun violence. thanks for being with us. a new poll taken after last week's deadly rampage in parkland, florida, shows 77% of americans say congress is not doing enough to stop mass shootings. 62% say the same about president trump. could that, when coupled with the pressure coming from the students from marjory stoneman douglas high school, could that change things? >> it certainly appears that the momentum right now after this horrific shooting is pushing for some kind of steps to be taken. stephanie mentioned earlier that the fix nics act, which already has passed through the house and has been in the senate before this shooting happened, now seems to have a little bit of momentum behind it. unfortunately, the fix nics act right now is attached to another terrible piece of legislation called a conceal carry reciprocity bill. at this moment, they're linked together. if there was support for fix nics, it'd be attached to a terrible, dangerous bill. the question of where the momentum is and where it

this leaves the debate over gun control with mark kelly, the retired astronaut husband of gabby giffords and a leader in preventing gun violence. plus we will hear from a group of survivors who want to rally young people across the country and force action to stop the bloodshed. >> politicians can make all the promises they want. they can give all their condolences but at what point do we say that's not enough and we call for action. >> then -- >> the indictment alleges that the russian conspirators want to promote discord in the united states and undermine public confidence in democracy. >> we will ask our sunday panel about a sweeping indictment presenting new evidence of how russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. all right now on "fox news sunday". chris: hello again from fox news in washington. we are still feeling the shockwaves from yet another school shooting. the massacre at a florida high school has reignited the debate over guns and mental health and there are troubling questions about the fbi's failure to follow up on warnings about the shooter. in a few minutes,

with us now is david chipman from giffords. david, this is an interesting approach.have managed in eight days or at least the nra has tried very hard for eight days to discuss everything except guns, the number of guns, the type of guns, the age at which you could get guns. you will not hear that from dana lash or wayne la pierre. you heard a little from the president but all you are hearing from the students and the survivors at parkland. tell me about this. tell me about the methodology at play. >> well what i found very interesting is after 30 years focusing on this issue, where the kids high school -- the high school kids arrived after the shooting, what they thought needed to be done is exactly whey believe needs to be done. and it needs to be done starting with background checks. if we had laws in place that required anyone who wanted to buy a gun to go into a gun store, a place where they would have to fill out the documents you showed before, pass a background check and even more importantly now that we're considering that there might be age limits, there wil

now, gabby giffords is a big voice on this and we know why. she had to experience this the worst possible way, which where these kids are coming e ining f. she just released an ad targeting the governor there who has an "a" rating from the nra. here's the ad. >> orlando, ft. lauderdale, parkland. we need to stop dangerous people from getting guns. but governor rick scott made it illegal for a doctor to ask a patient if they owned a gun, even a mental health professional. this law was so dangerous that a court had to strike it down. governor scott, we need more than your thoughts and prayers. stop putting the gun lobby ahead of our safety. paid for by giffords. >> now, look, it is a fact that scott is now appealing that judicial decision. we'll see what he does politically with it. he's moving on, na. but where do you think the momentum goes at the federal level? you said something interesting there, david. everybody is going to have to be open-minded about this. will gun control advocates want to talk about increasing safety in schools? and we

it turns out the artist, gifford beale, hadn't been able to sell the painting because after the war, people no longer wanted paintings of the war. he put a fresh canvas over it. it was only discovered half a century later. steve: talk about the color in that artwork. mr. lubin: artists talk about aerial perspective. this is almost a lesson in aerial perspective, with the haze softening the mountains in the distance. the locomotive steam clouds here on the side of the river and the other side of the river, the blue shadowing on the column of her pprch. he is using blue as a shadow factor. he was someone who knew impressionism. he wanted this kind of high impact color condensation going on. the flags of the regiments and the americans look all the more brilliant. red and white jumps out at you. the river, this sort of has pastel soft blue. it surprised me it had to go 90 years without being seen in public. steve: it almost looks like west point along the hudson. mr. lubin: it turns out it is in newburgh. they had to do research to find out where is severely this took place. it is the a

in cambridgeshire is macer gifford, which isn't his real name.ews today that these two men have been captured? the news today that these two men have been captured ?” the news today that these two men have been captured? i am delighted. this is the first stage of what i want, which is justice. this is the first stage of what i want, which isjustice. there cannot be justice if there want, which isjustice. there cannot bejustice if there is no want, which isjustice. there cannot be justice if there is no capture. these people committed horrific acts. this is the first stage. how much do you know about where you we re much do you know about where you were held? much do you know about where you were held ? tell us much do you know about where you were held? tell us about the bit about the conditions in which you we re about the conditions in which you were held? i was moved across syria from place to place, probably from rack to aleppo, probably to italy prevents and then back to raqqa. we we re prevents and then back to raqqa. we were helped probabl

according to the gifford - 15 states allow teachers to carry guns in some capacity.resident saying cover background checks and selling to anyone under 21 but also focusing on mental health. the national rifle association backing the president's call to action. >> i'm the biggest believer of the second amendment there is, the biggest. i spoke, gave me tremendous support. they endorsed me at the absolute earliest point. todd: andrew cuomo quick to blast the nra saying the nra is busy peddling lies to the american people, the coalition of state saying enough is enough. the american people won't be placed for fools. the new coalition made of 4 governors looking to toughen gun laws. they are focusing on school safety. merrimack this for inmate convicted of raping and killing a college student, yelling words like murderer, death by lethal injection, letting out those screams and thrashing on a gurney before falling silent. in texas, execution for the first time in a decade. thomas whitaker murdered his mother and brother, he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. tod

robin thomas, the executive director of the giffords law center to prevent gun violence, says forcing states to accept any and all gun permits would make the weakest laws in the country the new norm. >> someone who lives in nevada who's able to carry a loaded concealed weapon in nevada could now bring that loaded gun into los angeles, into san francisco, and carry their loaded weapon even though in san francisco that's not someone who would get a permit. >> so this law would essentially usurp the gun laws in cities like new york and chicago and los angeles? >> absolutely. >> reporter: the blue state liberals who favor gun control it may sound like a right-wing fantasy. but to the national rifle association, which contributed $30 million to donald trump's presidential campaign and claims credit for his victory, it's their top legislative priority. and with midterm elections this year nothing is taken for granted. in 2013 a similar bill failed by just three votes. the nra declined to give us an interview on this story but their position is well documented on its website. this is the voi

look at the gabrielle gifford shooting, that individual is using a handgun but was able to fire 32 roundsn just 11 seconds, killing six people. that's why i think the problem goes far beyond a discussion of guns. it goes to mental health and also people learning how to protect themselves and knowing what to do in these situations. >> shannon: we thank you both for having this honest conversation about where we go. we just began this conversation. thank you both for lending your voices. the president hit a twitter today hoping to influence senate vote on immigration reform. we will analyze an update exactly what happened. plus new details tonight about the latest jane doe abortion case involving a legal immigrant minor and the fight over who gets to decide if she has an abortion or not. what's behind this very what's behind this very diyour insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation.

if you look at that same poll, similar poll when gabby giffords were shot in arizona, republican congresswomaner she was shot from use of the pool saying 83% of americans polled said we should report people with mental illnesses. jay shoji added to the federal database when it comes to trying to get a gun. where are we now? >> i think the violent attacks are just that. they are horrendous violent attacks. when you look at those situations, it is a slippery slope to start to let bureaucrats decide who has a right to bear arms and who doesn't. i don't buy the darn place i don't but i don't play scenarios. they are horrible, horrible acts. but the end of the day, dcf problems that can solve the problems they can solve. turning to the government to get rid of the second amendment right to bear arms for so many citizens that follow the law. i see that as a solution. cheryl: real quick to know when you've got all these high school kids come in their sweet little face is marching on washington next month, it is going to be in the face of congress that they've got to do something. too many children ar

gabby gifford's travon martin, charleston. president obama went before the nation.a case for unity and then in the case of sandy hook, tried but failed to get legislation passed. i think what you see with president trump, he got the tone right. but he is susceptible of articling teachers because he doesn't come with a core set of beliefs. so he comes at it looking like he's doing something without actually doing anything. >> here is marco rubio talking about teachers tonight in the town hall. >> am i supposed to get more education to serve and protect on top of educating these children in. >> i don't support that. i say it as much as a father as a senator. this is about the safety of the teachers. imagine in the middle of the crisis, the s.w.a.t. team comes into the building and there is an adult with a weapon in their hands and the s.w.a.t. team doesn't who know is who and we have an additional tragedy. >> how will that go over at the white house? >> i think this idea of good guys with guns is spawned by the nra. we heard the president talk about it during the camp

and mark kelly whose wife, the former congress woman gabby giffords who survived a gunshot to the head. that's this sunday on "fox news sunday." check that out. schedules available locally. that's the president taking about from j.b.a., joint base andrews. the president will arrive in florida. at least check, before we came on the air, i didn't have available specifics of his schedule, which sometimes they're vague about for security reasons. makes sense. the president has suggested he may go down to broward county to see some of the survivors of the school shooting. he said he wants to do something that is real, something that is not just talked about, something to try to get society wrapped around the idea of maybe not so many of these school shootings. he will have some ears there in broward county. it's the bottom of the hour. we need to get top of the news headlines in and we'll be back to reset on an extremely busy news day from fox news channel. this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain. and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthritis wit

. >> on the other side, gabrielle giffords in support of the second amendment. supported gun restrictions. >> these reforms are supported typically by 70 to 90 percent of americans and to have high school kids who went through this horrific shooting calling for change, should matter. i will help in our society, that would make a difference. this is a very political issue though. we have got to get people to vote on the issue. i can guarantee you the kids you had on today, will vote on this issue probably for the rest of their lives. they will encourage others to do that as well. >> and for more on this we have ken paxton, attorney general of the state of texas. welcome. >> thank you. >> we just heard a whole litany of things that were wrong with the fbi, the state, everything fell through the cracks. and as you state law enforcement official what is the most important priority to transact these heartbreaking school shootings? >> we decided shooting in texas at a church, several in sprints. after that i said, unless we start arming people at churches, start armin

and kathy lee gifford shared today that her entire family came to faith because of billy graham.beautiful words they are an incredible tribute. >> shannon: it's interesting. i think i read something about hugh jackman's parents as well had gone to a crusade and felt as though they had been brought to faith i have as well. i want to read another quote. when you talk about all these people that he has met and influenced. he said this. yes, it's been a privilege to know some of the great men and women of the latter part of this century, however most of my time has been spent with people who will never be in the public eye and yet who are just as important to god as a queen or a president. i think the way that he saw the world, that he stood up against segregation. he held integrated crusades and meetings long before that was something dictated by the law. he leaves a great example for the rest of us. megan, thank you so much for joining us on this. >> you bet, oh, that's lovely... so graceful. the corkscrew spin, flawless... ...his signature move, the flying dutchman. poetry in moti

things, i remember when i started working for the cdc, one of the first issues we took on was gabby giffords being shot. i remember thinking before that moment, it's going to take it to happen to one of them before they do anything meaningful in this space. >> that's what the students were telling me last week. >> that's amazing and it didn't change it. here you have another mass shooting and you just have to wonder how many people have to die before we truly do something? this isn't the first attempt. i remember barack obama wiping tears away from his eyes in sandy hook. you have to think these piecemeal solutions won't work. there are gaping holes in the policy. we have to do something that results in real change. >> what about this potential real change from the president. it could happen. raise the age of buying an ar-15. >> why are we selling ar-15s? >> i think the danger here, and i understand the desire to do something that feels big, significant, impactive. but banning a full category of guns that is responsible for 2% of gun violence might feel good but doesn't work to solve gun cri

we think of president obama being in tucson after the gaby gifford shooting and what was such an important speech that he gave. this is something that he needs to work on or maybe doesn't come naturally. >> not that it's an easy role. >> so hard. >> but let's be honest about who trump is and the kind of characteristics that define him. this has not always been a natural thing for him to do, to show that kind of empathy in close quarters with victims -- family members of victims. it's not -- he's never been -- he's never looked comfortable doing it. but not every president understands how to do that properly. it is something that americans have come to expect from the president. >> there are moments that i think of that stick out for me with president trump, i think of him being in puerto rico after the storm and throwing paper towels to people like they were footballs. or after hurricane harvey where he's talking about the people who showed up to see him, when that's not really what is on the mind of a lot of people who are either there or sympathizing. this is just incomparable, the massa

ari, take a look at this ad that gabbi gifford is running against the governor. >> we need to stop dangerous people for getting guns. even a mental health professional. this law was so dangerous that a court had to strike it down. >> dana: in addition, the wall street journal, abc news out with a poll today that has some interesting pieces in it. questions of doing enough to prevent mass shootings, asking about the president and the congress. 77% think congress is not doing enough and 62% say the president is not. there's also mental health screening and treatments and whether that could have prevented the florida shooting. 77% of people think that it has. and then a stricter gun laws, could that have prevented the florida shooting. 58% saying that it could certainly not as many when it comes to thinking about mental health. i wanted to ask you, you've been around the block a few times on gun control debate. do you think anything is substantially different this time? >> i sure hope so, dana. you just have to hope in your heart that eventually people in power will get tired of sitting around

you of course remember he's the husband of former arizona congresswoman gabby giffords who was criticallyn 2011. they started an organization to fight the gun violence epidemic. captain kelly joins me now from arizona. captain, i'm wondering when you saw over the last two days so many of the young kids from that school coming out and being very vocal about what they want to see change in terms of gun laws in this country, something i don't think we've seen after a school shooting, so quickly after a school shooting among the young people who suffered from the shooting. i'm wondering what you thought of what you heard and what you've seen over the last several days. >> well, anderson, i can't recall having seen this before with, you know, young people of that age. it's kind of a unique circumstance. i mean it was one of the most horrific mass shootings we've had in our country's history, and you have, you know, older teenagers having had to experience that. they were incredibly articulate. i remember seeing one young woman. i think her name was isabel or isabella gomez speak after the pres

. >> brangham: in 2011, after congresswoman gabby giffords was shot, and six others were killed in tucson, arizona, there were widespread calls for reform, especially to curtail the sale of high-capacity magazike those used by the shooter. but none of the legislationer introduced aft tucson ever came up thr a full vote. same thing occurred a year later, when 12 people were killed and 70 more wounded in ai theater in aurora colorado, renewed calls for gun control and ment health screening went unanswered. >> brangham: when 20 first graders and six teachers were killed at sa school in connecticut in 2012, gun control advocates felt the nation's horror and outrage would be enough for some bipartisan consensus. >> a perfectly reasonable place that stands out for both sides to agree is to make it harder for criminals and dngerously mentally ill people to observe take weapons. >> brangham: against stiff f oppositim the n.r.a.,in legislation waoduced to limit certain assault rifles and high capacity magazines, like those used by the saok killer, as well as requiring background checks for all gun

of weapon that was used in florida, the kind of weapon that was used against my colleague gabby giffords, those probably shouldn't be in anybody's hands. so i understand that we can get twisted up in the definition. but if you can squeeze off 20 or 30 rounds in a minute and a half, that's not a hunting gun. that is not a self-protect gun. >> it strikes me, i've spoken to other democrats, and we'll ask them about some of these proposals that the president seems to be on board with, obviously there can be common ground with democrats, and still some democrats will say, yes, but that's not enough, or, you know, it is so little so late. you're saying credit where credit is due. so when you look at that, what do you say to your fellow democrats who might not want to give president trump that credit? >> well, look, i believe in politics, if you're going to have credibility, you can't just always be saying that the other side is awful. again, i give marco rubio, even though i disagree with him, on a lot of issues, i give him a lot of credit for listening to those students, for showing up in a v

robyn thomas, the executive director of the giffords law center to prevent gun violence, says forcingpt any and all gun permits would make the weakest laws in the country the new norm. >> robyn thomas: someone who lives in nevada, who's able to carry a loaded, concealed weapon in nevada, could now bring that loaded gun into los angeles, into san francisco, and carry their loaded weapon, even though in san francisco that's not someone who would get a permit. >> kroft: so this law would essentially usurp the gun laws in cities like new york and chicago and los angeles. >> thomas: absolutely. >> kroft: to blue state liberals who favor gun control, it may sound like a right wing fantasy, but to the national rifle association, which contributed $30 million to donald trump's presidential campaign and claims credit for his victory, it's their top legislative priority. and with midterm elections this year, nothing is taken for granted. in 2013, a similar bill failed by just three votes. the n.r.a. declined to give us an interview for this story, but its position is well-documented on its webs

and breaks the news that your sister-in-law, congresswoman gabby giffords was shot at a shopping mall what went through your mind, how did you deal psychologically? you weren't coming home the next day. what challenge is it for you? >> it is challenging when you hear your brother's wife who is very important to me was shot in such a violent -- most shootings are pretty violent. to be a victim of such violence, 6 other people were killed including a 10-year-old girl, others injured and she sustained significant injuries. later i was told she had passed away. i immediately got on the phone with my brother, talked to him as much as i can, support him as best i could, took some time for myself. i was commander of the space station at the time, had a job to do. i tried to compartmentalize, separate what is going on from -- on earth with responsibilities in space and focus as much as i could on that. and take care of my brother. i wouldn't say there was anything like a serendipitous kind of thing but a good time that allowed me to cut the cord a little bit with my fellow crewmates that were

this is from may, 2002 the cover of the "economist" after arizona congress woman gabby giffords was shotthis cartoon appeared in 2012. 99al finally the nra's madness, that it doesn't get lost the uk is raising money for the new series, break the cycle, which aims the way media covers gun violence, that's we said, they said, for this week. let's bring in our panel, a white house correspondent for the "daily beast." kurt joins us once again for this discussion. allen, i'd like to play a sound byte from chris murphy, for from connecticut, get your thoughts on it on the other side of it. take a listen. >> this happens nowhere else other than the united states of marc. this epidemic of mass slaughter this scourge of school shooting after school shooting. it only happens here, not because of quincoincidee t because of bad luck. but as a consequence of our inaction. we are responsible. >> now, let me ask you, do you agree with the frequency these shootings happen only in the united states and it's a result of failed gun control when you compare it to other under developed countries? >> no, not

. >> your wife, mark, as i mentioned, gabby giffords is not 0u.n 11 of the deadliest mass shootings in u.s. history. unbelievable, up on the skren there. look at that. you respond to the president's reaction to the shooting. true leaders do not cast plain accept responsibility acknowledge hard truths and do everything in power to find solutions to the biggest problems. the president failed to acknowledge the nation's gun violence crisis after the congressional baseball shooting. in alexandra. he failed to take action after hundredsy shot and 58 killed in a concert of las vegas. he failed to do anything when a gunman killed 26 people praying at a church in sutherland springs. and thus far he failed to address the fact that america has experienced 18 school shootings already this year. as a matter of fact, it's eight -- 18 number of shootings in and around schools. one that is actually happened in schools were eight in year. how can this problem be solved if the president refuses to acknowledge that guns play a large part? >> well, at the national l

there's gabby gifford's group. thousa now, there are these students. do you have a unified message of what you want? >> absolutely. so moms demand action is the grassroots arm of every town for gun safety. we are the only organization that has a chapter in every single state of the country and has 4 million members. we can show up not just to meet with our members of congress but also with our state legislators. and tell them we want stronger gun laws and to defeat some really bad nra gun bills that show up in the statehouses every single year. yes, we all work together. we each have a different role to play in this battle. we are in constant contact about how to work on this across the country. >> one of the risks here is it is unclear what the message is. do you feel like you and these other groups have a clear message of what you want tangibly? because from a logic perspective, it makes no sense why nothing is done. if sort of all these forces work together with a clear ask, maybe there's a better chance. >> absolutely. we have had a very clear ask,

robin thomas, executive director at giffords law center and mark rosenberg, former director of the cdcl injury prevention and control. robin, we're learning this week president donald trump will hold a listening session with florida's high school students. is this an attempt you think to tamper some of the backlash that he's been receiving since the shooting? >> i mean, i think it's great that president trump is going to sit down with these students. they are angry, they're hurt, they are frustrated, just like the rest of us, that nothing has been done after sandy hook elementary school, after las vegas. our federal government utterly failed to take any steps and i think these students who have a voice and who are now right in the center of this controversy are demanding that action be taken. i think it's great he's going to listen to them because they have a very clear point of view about what needs to happen next. what i hope comes out of that is the president understanding that thoughts and prayers are no longer going to be enough for any of us, not for those of us who care about th
