Emotional survivors and parents of the school shooting last week in Parkland, Florida, confronted President Donald Trump on Wednesday during a “listening session” at the White House.
Among them was Sam Zeif, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School whose best friend was killed in the shooting.
“I’m here to use my voice because I know he can’t,” said Zeif, who was in school at the time of the shooting along with his 14-year-old brother.
“I lost a best friend who’s practically a brother, and that’s why I’m here,” Zeif said as he openly wept beside Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan, 6, was murdered in the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. “I turned 18 the day after [the Parkland shooting], woke up to the news that my best friend was gone. And I don’t understand why I can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war, an AR. I was reading today that a person, 20 years old, walked into a store and bought an AR-15 in five minutes with an expired ID. How is it that easy to buy that type of weapon? How have we not stopped this after Columbine, after Sandy Hook? I’m sitting with a mother that lost her son. It’s still happening.”
