Kasky: I hoped to make gun control happen
Activist and advocate against gun violence Cameron Kasky hoped the US would adopt stricter gun laws after a shooting at his school Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
He told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur that he had hoped the media attention he received after the shooting would have more impact.
Mr Kasky co-founded the March For Our Lives movement to campaign for stricter gun control laws and the group organised a demonstration in Washington DC which attracted hundreds of thousands of people.
He has now left the group and hopes to promote bi-partisan dialogue on the issue of gun control.
