Democrats introduce bill to finance gun violence research
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) holds an anti-assault rifle lapel pin following a press conference introducing legislation that would require federal spending on gun violence research. He and Representative Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) are sponsors of the legislation, and they cited the fact that gun violence is the leading cause of death of children under 18 years old as reason for the urgent need to fund research.
