'Show up when you feel strongly. ... Show up and make your voice heard,' says former Ohio Gov. John Kasich on how citizens can take action on issues like gun control. 'The people in this country are in charge. They just need to know it and use their voice'

Denver Chris Elledge should be looking forward to finishing his freshman year and enjoying summer break.

Instead, he and hundreds of other students are struggling to cope with the mass shooting that killed a young hero and wounded eight others at their Colorado school."It's just scary not knowing what's going to come next," the 15-year-old said. A 6th-grader wanted to 'go down fighting' and grabbed a bat during the shooting"How I was feeling in the moment is too horrible to remember.

7th grader describes what shooter said to him 01:18Behind their locked classroom door, the students and their teacher could hear law enforcement officers and the shooter. An officer said two people were shot, Vivaan recalled,"and then everyone just kind of lost it."Vivaan said he is still scared by Tuesday's events.CNN's Amanda Watts, Blake Ellis, Melanie Hicken, Jeremy Harlan, Steve Almasy and Ryan Young contributed to this report.

Found religion did you? About 20 yrs too late - should have before pushing the bank act that rescinded the checks on banks in 1999 - which led to bank collapses of over 200/yr for two years straight in 2007-2009- and that sir is a qualifier for a DEPRESSION with job loss,Mkt drop

Joke

Well, hell, and I thought we had heard the last from that limp noodle Kasich. Go home, be quiet John!

It's a nice theory, but somehow Trump is president. We are fucked.

It's about time a serious effort be made to understand the motives for such violence. What in the world is going on in our society that more and more people (kids especially) feel entitled/justified in resorting to lethal violence. This is NOT about guns! In England it's knives.

We showed on Election Day.

Ok john challenge trump in the coming primaries. Do that!

Hey john, I can see your vagina from here

John nobody cares what you have to say.

And the liberal Nazi Gestapos are alive and well in the Nazi party! Rewriting the Constitution because they want gun confiscation! Here’s a solution! Keep guns out of the hands of your violent liberals!

Why do we need assault rifles at all. You can only shoot one large animal legally. Only need one or two shots. I love guns myself, BUT I love my family members more!!

Parkland voice heard:

Let’s have a “war on guns” just like the “war on drugs” since it was so successful.

It’s not the guns. It’s the criminals, the mentally ill that you as dem are afraid of offending doing these things. Address these issues. The law abiding citizensare not the problem.

Mental health ..that’s the problem

I feel strongly that I am glad this idiot is no longer our Governor. We have s real man as our Governor now.

Darn that pesky amendment ?

Yawn. You can not control guns.

We have showed up! We elected Donald trump instead of you! 2020 we’ll do the same! We’ll also be watching as CNN continues to free fall in ratings because they can’t let their bias report the news over their agenda. Maduro implemented gun control on his citizens, work well 4 him

You are pull start a revolution if you tried to confiscate the guns from Americans. And the loser will be those that aren’t armed.

Bear in mind....kids walked out in PROTEST....as they don't want their tragedies and grief politicised!

I don’t agree with a lot of what John believes, but he is honest and honorable.

NaoVaiTerCorteVaiTerLuta presidenteracista bolsonaroracista

That would be great if that was true but it’s not. The politicians are in charge the people are not in charge.

“Former” was already an over-statement.

JohnKasich is a globalist establishment political hack. A CNN and MSNBC darling. tariffsWork

They did and voted realDonaldTrump

Kasich! Please just go away already!!!!

What a concept...loser

I just removed ChrisCuomo off my DVR tnite. He was the one and only Cnn show I could stomach. I can no longer stomach him. He's lost his balls to the Zucker narrative. I assume he'll follow the rest of his colleagues in the ratings game on CNN.

Proper gun control, proper parenting, PROPER BOOT IN ASS WHEN TRAINING KIDS ABOUT GUNS!!!!! A gun will not kill unless picked up, loaded and fired!! THEN WHOS FAILT IS THAT!!!!

That's right, the American people are in charge. MAGA KAG ❤🇺🇸

Why do you think trump is president?

He really should run for the Republican nomination again. ....like now.

Kasich showing his TRUE self! Just another RINO!🖕😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😎🇺🇸☝️

Step 1: Need more guns laws to protect our children. You don’t want to protect our children? Step2: Criminalize possession of arms. Step3: U in a bread line or furnace. Left acts like that’s Tin-hat talk, nope happening right now in Dem controlled Venezuela.

Guns are not the issue, evil is and when faith is broken and people want to blame everyone but the person responsible this is why nothing will ever be fixed.

Worthless JohnKasich now on CNN repeating lies about 'gun-show loophole,' lies about NRA, and generally supporting the same anti- 2A agenda as CoryBooker. Pathetic. c.c.: jasonahart

Another bitter RINO speaks. 😴

Pure BS!!! never met a gun that pulled it's own trigger! Stop using victims of insanity and the FAKE NEWS for your sick agenda!!

Amend your 2A or go home. Anything else is just band-aids. Y'all are unstable. Remember that saying? 'With great power comes great responsibility'? But when some normal folk, loses their cool and goes postal? or makes a mistake and the gun just goes off? You have a problem.

And your whining continues to old to more viewers.

Whose speaking up about mental issues that need to be identified and acted upon? Anyone?
