today on the first full day of classes at marjory stoneman douglas high school since the valentine's day mass murder there, the florida house of representatives actually did something today on gun safety. they did something. the overwhelming republican florida house overwhelming republican florida house of representatives by a vote of 67 to 50 passed a bill that imposes a three-day waiting period for most purchases of long guns and raises that minimum age for purchasing thoeds thosing weapons in florida from 18 to 21. and also provides $100 million to improve school security. none of that would have happened without the protests led by the students of stoneman douglas high and also today, the trump secretary of education visited the stoneman douglas high school but did not allow reporters to cover her visit to the school. ally tweeted, do something unexpected, answer our questions. you came to our school for publicity and avoided our questions for the 90 minute gs you were here. how do you do your job? never again. do your job? she spoke to reporters after leaving the high school whe

and savannah, you were with some of the marjory stoneman douglas students. and give me a little bit of color of what you saw and heard today. >> we have been following students -- we have a show on snapchat we do it for, and from parkland. and i drove down pennsylvania yesterday before the march, the first time they saw the stage. and them just seeing, like, i can't believe my school made something this big. >> yeah. >> and then one of the striking things to me today was actually there were kids, of course, from across the country. there were so many kids i spoke with that it was just them from another state and one of their parents that they begged -- they're high schoolers and they're begging their parents, drive me to d.c., please. and they're high schoolers begging for that, to come to this movement. think of the things high schoolers you think of begging for and now this movement. and so much of it is social media. they all feel connected by it, no matter how far they are from the parkland kids. and they were all so moved today, other students coming up

as a former teacher, at marjory stoneman douglas, now the parent of a student there, what do you make of what we saw and what we heard here in washington and there in parkland today? >> i was really proud of them. coming from the school, those kids are very well-organized. they're taught very high standards. so i didn't expect any different from them. >> what do you want to see happen next? what do you want to see come after this march and rally, fran? >> i would like to see change. i really -- not necessarily banning all weapons, but, yes. having gun reform, looking at the whole picture. maybe having a national network so that this way if people move state to state that this way we at least know what kind of weapons they do have. even limiting the amount of magazines that they're allowed to have, and, you know, purchase. because that would have stopped at least some of the shootings. >> how was your family impacted by the terrible events that took place last month? >> every day is a different adventure. my daughter definitely, although she was not in the building, one of her friends

today they passed the marjory stoneman douglas high school public safety act. it raise it is age for buying to 21. adds a three-day waiting period on all firearm sales. it bans bump stocks. this proposed law would add an idea that president trump has created creating a school marshal program to arm some teachers. but if it becomes law it will be florida's first gun control measure in 22 years. this is a state that usually goes in the other direction, pro-nra, the stand your ground laws. they're favored by the nra which was fighting with the people to vote no on this. families of the victims of the shooting had their own call to action. they said we must be the last families to suffer the loss of a loved one to the a shooting at school. the moment to pass the bill is now. today they did 57-60. with bipartisan it is headed to the governor's desk. so if it becomes law, this energy from the last three weeks clearly played a roll. here's florida's representative today. >> i want to thank the kids who protested from parkland had the gal to come over here and protest

stoneman douglas, that's what the provision would have prevented. the nra has gone to court to overturn that provision. that i think says as much as you need to say about their approach to this issue and the fact that their focus today and always is on the profits of the gun industry ahead of the public safety of our kids, our teachers, and our communities. this legislation in florida that the governor just signed is a good first step. but the nra shouldn't think the gun lobby shouldn't think this is then of the response to what happened in parkland. this is merely the beginning. >> okay. let's talk about the president's plans later today as he travels to pennsylvania ahead of that special election there tuesday. are you encouraged by the race being so close there? >> of course. i'm encouraged by the race being close in western pennsylvania. like i don't know if the democrats are going to pick up the seat. but the fact that this is so close in a bright red district shows the kind of momentum that the democrats have picked up over the past number of

but coming together and getting the marjory stoneman douglas family together, the students and faculty, as one community, helps in accelerating their grieving process. they're having to be there with their friends, to be there with their teachers, and getting back to some sense of normalcy has been a very positive experience for our students. >> what do you think of the nationwide walkout today by these students? >> you know, on one level, i certainly look at it at a number of ways. one, i view it as a positive that the students have been able to take their anger, grief, and concern into action for positive change. the other thing is that as part of the education process, we try to instill in our students critical skills, being able to look at issues, think about them critically, take a position, being able to communicate that, and connect and have relevance to what they're actually learning. this is a great learning opportunity for them to have some relevance to what they're learning. they read a lot about history. they're now able to certainly make history. they're able to demonstrat

on valentine's day, a former student walked in to marjory stoneman douglas high in parkland, florida, pulled an ar-15 out of his duffel bag and began shooting. students hid in closets, and played dead. when it was over, 17 people were killed; 14 of them, students. in the hours that followed, there were vigils, and a string of lawmakers offered their "thoughts and prayers." then, something different happened. the students of stoneman douglas gathered in living rooms and in front of cameras, declaring, "never again." in less than a month, the teens did what few thought possible. they changed gun laws in florida and ignited a national movement. we wondered how a generation with a notoriously short attention span plans to hold the nation's attention. you'll hear from them later. but, we begin with another classmate, who hasn't been seen or heard from since the shooting. this is anthony borges. he is 15 years old, and should be at soccer practice, but when we met him on tuesday, he was struggling to breathe. he'd just come off a ventilator the day before. anthony's father roger told us his
