(CNN) Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior Ryan Deitsch asked Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Wednesday why he and other students "have to march on Washington just to save innocent lives." Deitsch, who survived the shooting that left 17 people dead last week at his Parkland, Florida, high school, told Rubio he has grown up in a world with drills in schools and possible active shooters. Deitsch asked Rubio why do students have to be the ones demanding action on gun control laws. "Why do we have to march on Washington just to save innocent lives?," he said. Rubio told the student: "You're right."
