Florida school superintendent: 'Now is the time to have a real conversation about sensible gun control'

Broward Country Schools Superintendent Rob Runcie reacted to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Thursday by calling for a conversation on gun control.

At a press conference about the shooting that left 17 dead, Runcie explained that he had been getting calls from students asking for a discussion about "sensible" gun safety laws.

"Now is the time for this country to have a real conversation about sensible gun control," he said. "So our students are asking for that conversation."

"And I hope that we can get it done in this generation," Runcie added. "But if we don't, they will."
