Florida shooting survivors rally for stricter gun controls

Survivors of the Florida school shooting have travelled to the state capital to press lawmakers to take more action on gun control. 

About 100 students arrived in Tallahassee hours before the state legislature rejected a ban on assault rifles like the one used in the attack.

They are due to stage a rally at the State House later and meet legislators. 

It is the first organised protest of the youth-led anti-gun movement that has swept the US since the attack. 

Under pressure to act, President Donald Trump yesterday backed a move to ban devices that can enable rifles to shoot hundreds of rounds a minute.
