At this hour the survivors of the Florida School massacre are on a mission taking their demand for tougher gun laws to the state capitol. 100 students from Stoneman Douglas high school arrived in tallahassee overnight bent on making their case to lawmakers who have resisted gun control for decades. But President Trump is apparently ready to make some changes. Abcs Arlette Saenz has the latest from washington. Arlette, good morning. Reporter diane and kendis, good morning.

Survivors turned activists are storming floridas capitol to demand action. This is not about democrats, this is not about republicans. This isnt left or right. This is a movement for humanity, for safety, for keeping our citizens alive. Reporter one week after the parkland shooting, students are ramping up the pressure on state lawmakers. Were talking about gun safety, were talking about school safety, and were talking about mental health. Reporter while the students rode on buses to tallahassee, florida lawmakers voted to not consider a bill to ban assault rifles. One survivor watching the vote overcome with emotion. It was a big punch in the gut. Reporter in the nations capital, President Trump directed his attorney general to find a way to ban bump stocks, a device not used in parkland, but used in the las vegas rampage. I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns. Reporter democratic senator Dianne Feinstein said the directive wont be enough tweeting legislation is the only answer. The president also wants to strengthen background checks while the white house is facing questions about assault weapons.

But the white house says it will include people who were affected by the Mass Shootings in parkland, columbine and newtown. Diane and kendis. Thats Arlette Saenz for us from washington, d. C. , thanks. One more note out of florida, a state lawmaker is now denouncing his former aide who falsely claimed that some of the shooting survivors who appeared on tv were paid actors. Benjamin kelly was fired from his position in the office of a state lawmaker from tampa and kelly wrote to a reporter saying, quote, both kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crises when they happen. The photo he was referring to showed Emma Gonzalez and david hogg on cnn.

A new white house policy says staffers working without permanent clearance will lose access to top secret information.

I cant say for sure he hasnt traveled outside our jurisdiction or at some point last year he didnt do a random shooting. Thats something we still have to work on. Were pretty sure that gun has not been used in other shootings but i cant definitively say he has not done something similar here. Most likely it would be here but it could be out of state because were so close to other states. Police say castellon has not offered a motive for the killings.

Driving on the wrong side of the road onto sidewalks, even crashing into that taxi there before driving inside an underground train tunnel all to try to escape. Police eventually caught up with him.
