In a rare public speech, U.S. First Lady Melania Trump has expressed her support to student activists campaigning against gun violence following the recent high school shooting in Florida. <br /> Tuesday's encouraging remarks came at a White House luncheon she hosted for the spouses of the nation's governors.<br /><br /> "I have been heartened to see children across this country using their voices to speak out and try to create change. They're our future and they deserve a voice."<br /><br /> Her husband has long resisted calls for stricter gun control, but has shown some leeway after meeting survivors of the Florida shooting.<br />However, right-wing critics and the National Rifle Association continue to take jabs at the activists and some have even accused the FBI of staging attacks to spur anti-gun sentiment. <br />
