Several students in the packed gallery of the Florida House were visibly upset by the decision by politicians not to take up a bill to ban assault rifles and large capacity magazines.
Lizzie Eaton, a 16-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas junior said she couldn't get into the House gallery Tuesday, but heard about the vote immediately after it happened.
She called it "a really heartbreaking vote" after the students had spent the day "trying to get our voices out to the Democrats and Republicans."
But she added that, "We're not going to stop. We're going to keep fighting for what we believe in. We're not going to let this bring us down."
