Following the tragedy, some of the students have used their newfound notoriety to spread their message to the country. With the help of high-profile publicists, the students have appeared on cable news networks, including a controversial town hall on CNN, given speeches in front of the Florida statehouse and met with local and national politicians, including President Trump.

Almost all of the student activists are pushing for strengthening gun laws in America to prevent another tragic event. The students are pushing for a wide range of new regulations, from universal background checks to a complete ban on assault rifles.

While it is unlikely that Congress will pass an assault rifle ban similar to the one passed in 1994, President Trump has signaled his support for banning bump stocks and raising the age of buying a rifle from 18 to 21.

If the students end up inking a book deal, they are likely to donate the money to the March for Our Lives, which is happening on March 24 in Washington D.C.
