I cannot overstate enough the importance of every day Americans thinking their voice is heard on this case, because the court of public opinion as we've seen throughout U.S. history is often what helps dictate what the justices decide in…

I can't tell you how disturbing it is knowing what is going to be decided here today is very much going to impact whether or not there are future survivors with us that we don't even know yet.

We must refuse to pass this on to another generation. That's what I was thinking about is I don't want to see another young person standing on the steps of the Supreme Court of the United States fighting to end this American epidemic that…

I think it’s absolutely horrific. And the only person I blame for more than anything is Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is in Florida, frolicking around with Trump right now.

If you say this is not your party, actually call it out and hold her accountable, because Republicans always act as if they're the party of decency and respect.

If you're a young person please engage in the Georgia senate races that are coming up.

I think we can all get behind, you know, reducing gun violence in this country and setting that goal.

I think we've seen in every -- more developed countries aside from the United States that it is possible to dramatically reduce gun violence.

These politicians know they should be scared because we are the future voters and we are the future.

Appointing a national director of gun violence prevention is essential because we know it's one of the issues that affects us most and one that we care about most and that we've turned out to vote for.

Prove that you're not controlled by the NRA. That's what I would say to him.

I think the real reason Donald Trump is starting to talk about background checks is because they're very worried about Virginia and Pennsylvania and the fact that they know that they're going to start losing the suburbs very quickly if…

When people think politics is a game, people die.

Because like it or not, we don't care if you're Democrat or Republican, if you're supported by the NRA you don't stand with the kids, you stand with the gun manufacturers and the people that are trying to make money off this fear and…

One of the interesting things I thought Trump brought up was how we don't talk about mental health yet in one of the recent spending bills that they had they cut mental health spending for schools by over $25 million.

I'm not a crisis actor. I'm somebody that had to witness this and live through this.

I just know that I have to go back to continue to learn and work, even when our politicians won't.

At this point as students and future voters, our ideas are not being represented in office. In fact, they're getting us killed, they're getting us shot, and injured and mentally scarred forever. And how is that fair to us? It's not. And…

When we forget why we have to get out and vote, these children's lives are taken, but we're not going to let that happen.

These politicians are still owned by the NRA.

We're not trying to take your guns. We are trying to implement sensible gun legislation that prevents criminals, people that immensely unstable and people that shouldn't have a gun in the place from being able to get one.

He needs to show that he like these other politicians, is not owned by the NRA.

They want the American public to forget. They want you to forget.

Politics is spectacle, that's really what's going on here.

How many more children are going to have to die?
