Florida shooting: Student survivors call on Marco Rubio to turn down NRA campaign donations

A survivor of the Parkland school shooting has challenged Florida senator Marco Rubio to turn down campaign donations from the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Cameron Kasky, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 pupils were gunned down a week ago, asked the politician in a live, televised debate: "Can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA?"

The town hall audience erupted in cheers, before Mr Rubio went on to argue that voters buy into his agenda, not the NRA's, and that he supports laws to keep guns out of the hands of "deranged" people.
