Democrats introduce bill to finance gun violence research
Dylan Morris, a student who survived the 2021 shooting at Oxford High School, speaks at a press conference introducing legislation that would require federal spending on gun violence research. Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) led the event and 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.
