EVERY TIME THOSE TWO DOORS OPEN... >> THEY HEAR YOU. >> ... EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HEARS YOU. >> THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! SHOW THEM WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! >> THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! >> SHOW THEM WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! >> THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! >> WE'RE FIGHTING HARD FOR YOU, AND WE WILL NOT STOP. >> AS FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, 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. >> 19 YEARS SINCE COLUMBINE, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. >> JUST FIVE MINUTES. JUST FIVE MINUTES. >> WE'VE BEEN TO MANY ROOMS. WE'VE SPOKEN TO ONLY A FEW LEGISLATORS. AND TRY AS THEY MIGHT, THE MOST WE'VE GOTTEN OUT OF THEM IS, " WE'LL KEEP YOU IN OUR THOUGHTS. YOU ARE SO STRONG. YOU ARE SO POWERFUL ." WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH OF THAT. >> I WAS PRACTICALLY THE LONE REPUBLICAN THE ENTIRE-- THE ENTIRE TRIP. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT WAS REALLY UNDER ATTACK, AND THIS WAS BECOMING AN ANTI- GUN DEBATE. AND THE FIRST THING I DID WAS I TRIED EXPLAINING TO MY, LIKE, TO MY CLOSE GROUP OF FRIENDS WHY THEY WERE WRONG. AND, LIKE, WHY THEY HAD TO, LIKE, LOOK AT ALL THE VIEWPOINTS AND UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH-- WHICH WAS-- THEY REALLY-- THEIR MAIN THING THAT THEY ALL, LIKE, AGREED ON WAS WE HAVE TO BAN ASSAULT RIFLES. AND I TRIED EXPLAINING TO THEM HOW THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AND WHY THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I WAS LIKE, " OKAY, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ," OR AT LEAST-- I THINK THE BIGGEST THING THAT PUSHED ME WAS THAT THERE WAS NO CONSERVATIVE POINT OF VIEW BEING REPRESENTED >> SINCE HE WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, IT WAS NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE WHO KNEW HIM TO HEAR THAT HE WAS THE SHOOTER. >> ACCUSED GUNMAN, NIKOLAS CRUZ, WAS IN COURT YESTERDAY. >> HE STARED AT THE GROUND AND SPOKE ONLY BRIEFLY TO HIS LAWYER. ALSO YESTERDAY, FLORIDA GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT CALLED ON THE F. B. I. TO RELEASE DETAILS SURROUNDING ITS FAILURE TO TAKE ACTION AFTER RECEIVING A TIP LAST MONTH ABOUT CRUZ. THAT TIP DESCRIBED HIS ALLEGED ERRATIC BEHAVIOR, DESIRE TO KILL PEOPLE, AND POTENTIAL TO CONDUCT A SCHOOL SHOOTING. >> AND POLICE RECORDS SHOW DEPUTIES WENT TO HIS HOME MORE THAN THREE DOZEN TIMES. >> WE'RE HERE AT THE BB & T CENTER, AND NOW I'M TRYING TO GET INSIDE WITHOUT A TICKET. >> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA. I'M JAKE TAPPER. YOU'RE ABOUT TO WITNESS AN HISTORIC EXCHANGE BETWEEN SURVIVORS OF A HORRIFIC SCHOOL SHOOTING AND THEIR ELECTED LEADERS. >> I NEED HIS NAME AND THE CONTACT. >> MY CONTACT FROM CNN IS JUST CHECKING TO SEE. WE DON'T HAVE A NAME. >> DAVID HALL? >> DAVID HOGG. >> AH! DAVID HOGG IS HERE. YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME IN. >> COPY THAT. >> I WANT TO BRING IN CAMERON KASKY. HE'S A JUNIOR, AND HE HAS A QUESTION FOR SENATOR RUBIO. CAMERON? ( CROWD CHEERING ) >> CAN YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW THAT YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT A SINGLE DONATION FROM THE N. R. A. IN THE FUTURE? \( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IN THE NAME OF 17 PEOPLE, YOU CANNOT ASK THE N. R. A. TO KEEP THEIR MONEY OUT OF YOUR CAMPAIGN? >> I THINK IN THE NAME OF 17 PEOPLE, I CAN PLEDGE TO YOU THAT I WILL SUPPORT ANY LAW THAT WILL PREVENT A KILLER LIKE THIS-- >> NO, BUT I'M TALKING N. R. A. MONEY. >> NO. I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT I SUPPORT LIFTING THE AGE FROM 18 TO 21 OF BUYING A RIFLE. MY UNDERSTANDING AS-- BEFORE I WALKED OUT HERE, WAS THAT THAT ORGANIZATION IS NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR POSITION IS ON TEACHERS BEING ARMED, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I THINK THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS. >> THE CNN TOWN HALL THRUST US INTO A NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. IT GAVE US THAT NATIONAL PLATFORM. ( CROWD CHEERING ) >> I DO FEEL POWERFUL. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SO SHORT, BUT NOW I'M SO TALL IN THE MEDIA PRESENCE. IT FEELS A LITTLE STRANGE. I'M NOT GOING TO LIE; IT FEELS A LITTLE WEIRD. BUT ALSO, LIKE, I JUST HOPE THAT THE PEOPLE AREN'T GETTING FOCUSED ON MORE THAN THE MESSAGE IS. PEOPLE WILL FOCUS TOO MUCH ON THE MESSENGERS THAN THE MESSAGE ITSELF, BECAUSE THE MESSAGE IS REALLY IMPORTANT. TO EVERY POLITICIAN WHO IS TAKING DONATIONS FROM THE N. R. A ., SHAME ON YOU! ( CROWD CHEERING ) >> ARE YOU PREPARED TO TAKE ON THE N. R. A ., WHAT'S BEEN CALLED THE MOST POWERFUL LOBBY IN THE WORLD? >> WELL, I HAVE BEEN GETTING GUN THREATS FROM PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I MEAN, I'M NOT AFRAID OF THEM. I'M IN A HOUSE RIGHT NOW WHERE MY FATHER CURRENTLY HAS SEVERAL GUNS. HE'S A POLICE OFFICER, AND I FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF THEM. I'M NOT TRYING TO RIP EVERY GLOCK OUT OF EVERY AMERICAN'S HAND. I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMEBODY LIKE NIKOLAS CRUZ ISN'T ALLOWED BY THE G. O. P .-- AND THE N. R. A. FUNDING THEM-- TO GET ANOTHER AR- 15, OR ANY WEAPON OF THE SORT, AND MOW US DOWN WITH IT AGAIN. >> DO YOU THINK THERE SHOULD BE A BAN ON ASSAULT RIFLES? >> YES, BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELONG ON THE STREETS. YOU DON'T NEED AN ASSAULT RIFLE TO GO HUNTING. YOU DON'T NEED AN ASSAULT RIFLE TO DEFEND YOURSELF. THAT'S A MILITARY- GRADE WEAPON. I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO TIGHTEN OUR LAWS, AND THAT'S ALL. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD GET RID OF IT ALL. I'M AN AVID BELIEVER OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT. >> FROM HOLLYWOOD, IT'S JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! >> IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOUN \( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AMERICANS ACTING WITH CONVICTION. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE ATTACKING THEM, WHO CALL THEM FAKE NEWS, WHO CALL THEM FAKE STUDENTS. THEY SAY THEY'RE CRISIS ACTORS, THE ACTORS WHO ORCHESTRATE TRAGIC EVENTS IN ORDER TO ADVANCE SOME KIND OF LIBERAL AGENDA. >> THAT'S RIGHT. WE'RE ALL BEING TAKEN IN BY THE DAZZLING THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES OF HIGH SCHOOL ACTORS. HERE'S PARKLAND STUDENT CAMERON KASKY ON THE QUESTION OF WHETHER HE'S A PAID CRISIS ACTOR. >> IF YOU HAD SEEN ME IN OUR SCHOOL'S PRODUCTION OF " FIDDLER ON THE ROOF ," YOU WOULD KNOW THAT NOBODY WOULD PAY ME TO ACT FOR ANYTHING. ( LAUGHTER ) >> THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, JUST LIKE MEADOW. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, AND... >> AND WE'RE LIGHTING THESE OFF IN REMEMBRANCE OF ALL THOSE LOST. >> I ACTUALLY GREW UP WITH MEADOW. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHEN I WAS LITTLE. HERE'S A PICTURE OF US, ACTUALLY. >> HER PRESENCE IS KEEPING ME STRONG, TO FIGHT THIS CAUSE, TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS-- WE JUST GOT TO MAKE 'EM SAFE. THAT'S ALL I WANT. >> IT'S AN " M ." >> IT'S AN " M" FOR " MEADOW ." >> " M" FOR " MEADOW ." >> LOVE YOU. OKAY, SO THIS MARCH ON WASHINGTON IS HAPPENING... >> MARCH 24. >> ... MARCH 24. >> MARCH 24. IT'S AMAZING, THE UNIVERSAL SUPPORT WE'VE GOTTEN. >> WE'VE HAD SO MUCH FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM CELEBRITIES-- GEORGE CLOONEY, OPRAH, GUCCI. I BELIEVE CHRISSIE TEIGEN AND JOHN LEGEND DONATED. THE CREATOR OF TWITTER JUST DONATED 500" K" YESTERDAY. >> I CAN'T GET A HOTEL ROOM ON MY OWN. I'M 17 YEARS OLD. OF COURSE, WE HAVE PEOPLE HELPING US. I CAN'T GET THE CITY PERMITS FOR TEN BLOCKS OF-- DOWN PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE IN WASHINGTON, D. C. >> HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T USING YOU FOR THEIR SPECIFIC AGENDA? >> WELL, WE DON'T LET THEM. WE ALL REMEMBER EVERYBODY HAS AN AGENDA. POLITICIANS HAVE ASKED US TO ENDORSE THEM. NOPE. YOU CAN SUPPORT US ALL YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON OUR MOVEMENT? IT'S JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN. >> VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT !>> THE NATIONAL DEBATE OVER HOW TO PROTECT SCHOOL KIDS PLAYED OUT TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE AS THE PRESIDENT MET WITH STATE GOVERNORS. >> I REALLY BELIEVE I'D RUN IN THERE, EVEN IF I DIDN'T HAVE A WEAPON. AND I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WOULD HAVE DONE THAT, TOO. ( SIRENS ) >> STUDENTS RETURNED TO MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL TODAY. >> THEY WERE ACCOMPANIED BY MORE THAN 200 POLICE OFFICERS, ABOUT 150 GRIEF COUNSELORS, AND 40 THERAPY DOGS. >> THANK YOU! >> DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SAFE, COMING BACK? >> YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE SO... >> I WAS VERY DETERMINED TO GO BACK, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE HARD TO SEE MY TEACHERS, TO SEE MY PEERS. >> THE CLASS THAT I'M TEACHING IS HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST. WELL, WHEN I WALKED BACK INTO THE CLASSROOM, I WAS HAPPY TO SEE MY STUDENTS, AND THAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER. AND I'M GRIEVING FOR ALL OF THE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES. AND I KNOW THAT THE PARENTS AREN'T GOING TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN ANYMORE, AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET CALLS FROM COLLEGE. AND THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY BREAKING MY HEART. LIKE, ALL THOSE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT THOSE STUDENTS WOULD BE DOING, THEY WON'T SEE THAT. >> SOMEONE MURDERS YOUR KID... >> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING THROUGH. STAY STRONG. >> I LIKE GOING THERE, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, BECAUSE I GOT TO SEE KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. KIDS SHOULD GO AND LEARN AND BE IN SCHOOL AND JUST WORRY ABOUT SCIENCE, ENGLISH, HISTORY. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE DOING DRILLS ABOUT SHOOTERS. >> TAKE CARE. >> THANKS. >> TWO BIG RETAILERS ARE MAKING CHANGES FOLLOWING THE SHOOTINGS AT STONEMAN DOUGLAS. DICK'S SPORTING GOODS STORES PULLED ALL ASSAULT- STYLE WEAPONS AND HIGH- CAPACITY MAGAZINE AMMO FROM ITS SHELVES TODAY. >> I MEAN, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT FOR IT NECESSARILY, BUT WE KNOW THAT AT LEAST WE PLAYED SOME ROLE IN IT, THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING HERE. WE'RE CREATING SOME SORT OF CHANGE. >> I'M NOT INTO POPULARITY. I'M INTO GETTING SOMETHING DONE THAT'S GOOD. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP SCRAMBLED THE PARTISAN DIVIDE ON GUNS TODAY, SIDING WITH DEMOCRATS ON DRAMATICALLY EXPANDING BACKGROUND CHECKS AND RAISING THE PURCHASING AGE FOR SEMI- AUTOMATIC WEAPONS. >> IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I'M 21 TO GET A HANDGUN, BUT I CAN GET THIS WEAPON AT 18. I DON'T KNOW. >> DANA LOESCH, THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE NATIONAL RIFLE DOES THE N. R. A. FEEL BETRAYED BY THE PRESIDENT? >> WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF DISCUSSED DURING THIS MEETING, AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF IT REALLY MADE FOR GOOD POLICY TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE. AND WITH REGARDS TO INCREASING AGE RESTRICTIONS, PURCHASING LONG GUNS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE N. R. A. OPPOSES BECAUSE IT-- >> THAT'S A NO- GO? >> I WON'T-- I-- IT'S A NO- GO. YEAH, THERE'S NO POINT IN PUNISHING MILLIONS OF YOUNG ADULTS FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO. >> THE N. R. A. SUGGESTED OVERNIGHT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP MAY NOW BE WALKING BACK HIS COMMENTS ABOUT STRICTER GUN LAWS. >> FOLLOWING AN OVAL OFFICE MEETING, N. R. A. EXECUTIVE LOBBYIST CHRIS COX TWEETED THAT MR. TRUMP AND VICE PRESIDENT PENCE " SUPPORT STRONG DUE PROCESS AND DON'T WANT GUN CONTROL ." AN HOUR LATER, MR. TRUMP TWEETED THAT " THE MEETING WENT GREAT ." >> LOOK, IF SOMEBODY'S GOING TO SHOOT AT ME, I WANT TO SHOOT BACK. I DON'T WANT TO STAND THERE AND DIE. IT'S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE. THEY'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE >> HANDGUN VIOLENCE! >> BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OUT TO BE. I JUST DON'T ACCEPT THAT. THEY NEED TO GROW UP AND FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE IN THE REAL WORLD. >> THEY HAVEN'T BEEN LOCKED IN A ROOM WHILE SOMEBODY WAS WALKING UP AND DOWN THE HALLS WITH A WEAPON OF WAR GUNNING US DOWN. >> AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IS NEVER GOING TO PREVENT CRIMINALS FROM OBTAINING FIREARMS. >> WE'RE MOVING INTO AN OFFICE SPACE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE OUR LAST. WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED A BIGGER ONE THAN THIS IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, IF NOT WEEKS. >> SOMEBODY MOVE THE TABLE WITH ME JUST THIS WAY. >> IT'S LIKE MOVING INTO COLLEGE BUT, LIKE, EARLY. >> IT SEEMS LIKE WE JUST TAKE IT DAY BY DAY? >> WE LITERALLY ARE. >> YEAH. >> I LIKE THIS MAP. >> DELANEY BOUGHT THIS. >> WELL, THERE'S MARCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A WORLD MAP. >> I DON'T KNOW IF WE EXPECTED IT TO GET THIS BIG, BUT, LIKE, I'M HAPPY THAT IT'S THIS BIG. �� WHEN I LAY SLEEPING, I DREAMT I HELD YOU IN MY ARM �� >> EVERY MORNING, WHEN I NEED TO BE EMPOWERED, I PUT A VIDEO ON OF MY GIRL, MY DAUGHTER. AND I LOOK AT THAT VIDEO, AND IT EMPOWERS ME, AND I GET ANGRY. AND I-- I'M LIKE A LION NOW SINCE SHE'S BEEN SHOT, MURDERED. SO, WHEN I'M FEELING A LITTLE TIRED, OR MAYBE I'M DRAINED, I PUT THAT VIDEO ON, AND I GOT THE ENERGY OF A LION. >> WE WILL WAIT TO GET THOSE DETAILS LATER THIS WEEK. THANK YOU. >> ONLY WHEN SHE INTRODUCES YOU, LOOK AT THE CAMERA TWO. >> I GOT YOU. >> COME ON, SIR. >> THIS PAST WEEK, MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RETURNED TO CLASS.

YOU'VE BEEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE A NUMBER OF TIMES, INCLUDING THIS WEEK. >> THEY CAN FOCUS ON ANY GUN LAWS THEY WANT, I DON'T-- BUT FIRST, LET'S COME TOGETHER. WE COULD MARCH RIGHT THROUGH THIS COUNTRY. WHO'S GOING TO STOP US? WHO DOESN'T WANT OUR KIDS SAFE? STAY FOCUSED. LET'S MAKE THESE SCHOOLS SAFE. >> CLEAR. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS. >> 35 SECONDS. >> FLORIDA LAWMAKERS ARE SCRAMBLING TO PASS NEW LEGISLATION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE. >> SO, NOW, I'M GOING BACK TO THE CAPITOL TODAY TO LOOK THESE GUYS IN THE EYE, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE, AND I'M GOING TO KNOW-- I'M GOING TO GET IT OUT THERE WHO VOTED AGAINST KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFE. BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE ON THE PAGE THINKING, " OH, I'M NOT FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT, AND I'M A SECOND AMENDMENT GUY. I WENT TO TALLAHASSEE BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS BILL GOT DONE. AND THE WAY I GREW UP IS, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, YOU DO IT YOURSELF >> THIS IS THE " MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL PUBLIC SAFETY ACT ." >> THE MEASURES INCLUDE A THREE- DAY WAITING PERIOD FOR HANDGUN PURCHASES AND A BAN ON SALES TO ANYONE UNDER 21. SOME TEACHERS WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO CARRY GUNS. >> I REJECT THIS BILL, MEMBERS, BECAUSE IT'S A FALSE CHOICE, RUSHED THROUGH. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT THIS WAY. >> IF IT DIDN'T PASS IN FLORIDA, WHAT DOES THAT SHOW EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD THAT WE COULD HAVE 17 MURDERS, AND WE CAN'T EVEN GET A SAFETY BILL PASSED.

THE CLERK WILL UNLOCK THE MACHINE AND ANNOUNCE THE VOTES. >> 67 YEAS, 50 NAYS, MR. SPEAKER. ( APPLAUSE ) >> SO, THE BILL PASSES. >> I WANTED TO HAVE SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED THAT I COULD TAKE TO THE OTHER STATES AND SHOW THE OTHER GOVERNORS, " LOOK, THIS IS WHAT WE DID IN FLORIDA. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW ." ON BEHALF OF ALL THE FAMILIES WHO LOST A LOVED ONE ON FEBRUARY 14, I WANT TO THANK THE GOVERNOR FOR HIS TREMENDOUS SUPPORT. AND WE STAND UNITED IN ASKING HIM TO SIGN THIS HISTORIC BILL INTO LAW. ( SIGHS ) >> TO THE STUDENTS AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL, YOU MADE YOUR VOICES HEARD. >> WE GOT A BILL SIGNED BY RICK SCOTT, AND THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR US. >> WE'RE NOT SEEING EVERYTHING THAT WE WANT, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE GUN CONTROL, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO STOP WORKING UNTIL THERE IS. >> GUN CONTROL ISN'T GOING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT AN N. R. A. SUPPORTER. I'M NOT AGAINST IT. BUT WHAT THE N. R. A. DOES IS IT PROTECTS THE SECOND AMENDMENT. >> YOU KNOW, YOU HAD A VERY BUSY DAY YESTERDAY. YOU WERE IN WASHINGTON, D. C. YOU GOT TO MEET WITH LOTS OF SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN, AND THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF, AND THE FIRST LADY. >> YES, MA'AM. IT WAS QUITE AMAZING. I TALKED TO MELANIA TRUMP, MRS. TRUMP, FOR SO LONG. SHE WAS SO MATERNAL AND LOVING AND CARING. AND THEN SHE BROUGHT ME OVER TO THE OVAL OFFICE, AND I WAITED FOR MR. TRUMP, AND HE SAID HELLO. WE SHOOK HANDS, AND WE TALKED FOR AWHILE. I SAT DOWN WITH CHUCK SCHUMER, WITH CHRIS MURPHY, WITH NANCY PELOSI, WITH SO MANY OF THESE SENATORS. I TRIED LISTENING TO ALL POINTS OF VIEW, AND I CAME TO MY OWN PERSONAL CONCLUSION THAT BANNING ASSAULT RIFLES WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. >> RECENT SHOOTING VICTIM STEVE SCALISE WHEN-- >> PEOPLE WITH GUNS WHO ARE WELL TRAINED AND KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING ARE ABLE TO TAKE DOWN A GUY WHO HAS ILL INTENTIONS. >> THE ONLY WAY TO STOP A BAD GUY WITH A GUN IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN. >> THANK YOU, AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

AND TO THAT I SAY NO MORE. \( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> SIX MINUTES AND ABOUT 20 SECONDS, IN A LITTLE OVER SIX MINUTES 17 OF OUR FRIENDS WERE TAKEN FROM US, 15 WERE INJURED, AND EVERYONE, ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE IN THE DOUGLAS COMMUNITY WAS FOREVER ALTERED. SIX MINUTES AND 20 SECONDS WITH AN AR- 15, AND MY FRIEND CARMEN WOULD NEVER EXPLAIN TO ME ABOUT PIANO PRACTICE. AARON FEIS WOULD NEVER CALL KEIRA " MISS SUNSHINE ." SCOTT BEIGEL WOULD NEVER JOKE AROUND. HELENA RAMSAY WOULD NEVER... JOAQUIN OLIVER WOULD... CHRIS HIXON WOULD NEVER. LUKE HOYER WOULD NEVER. ALYSSA ALHADEFF WOULD NEVER. JAIME GUTTENBERG WOULD NEVER. MEADOW POLLACK WOULD NEVER. SINCE THE TIME THAT I CAME OUT HERE, IT HAS BEEN SIX MINUTES AND 20 SECONDS. THE SHOOTER HAD CEASED SHOOTING AND WILL SOON ABANDON HIS RIFLE, BLEND IN WITH THE STUDENTS AS THEY ESCAPE, AND WALK FREE FOR AN HOUR BEFORE ARREST. FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES BEFORE IT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S JOB.
