Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students returned to school on Wednesday, two weeks after a mass shooter killed seventeen people. Since that tragic event, a student-led movement has been rallying support for changes to gun laws. But on Capitol Hill House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) signaled his disinterest in new restrictions on gun purchases. Rep. Darren Soto (D-Fl) discusses the state of gun control. "It's a real shame," said Soto. "How can he shut the door at this moment in time when the nation is asking for us to have a solution?" Soto met with a group of student survivors on Capitol Hill Tuesday. Soto says these students feel unsafe in America's schools.
