Thank you all for signing my petition. After the shooting in Parkland, gun research shouldn’t be controversial — it should be one of the easiest things for Congress to do. It’s been amazing to have your support and to see the leadership from students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas. We want to get #RestoreGunResearch trending on Twitter.
