Democratic Florida Senator Bill Nelson spoke from the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Friday morning. Just two days earlier, suspected gunman, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, opened fire at the school, killing a total of 17 people.
"I hope [this tragedy] marks a turning point for the country," Nelson said in his address to the community. "I have hunted all my life. An AR-15 is used for killing, not hunting."
Nelson called on state and federal officials to change gun laws. The Florida legislature has the ability to outlaw weapons like other states have.
