Replying to @DrChristineMann @TiffanyBond
#GunReformNow is a topic that I am very passionate about. I've been a supporter of@MomsDemand for several years. The#Parkland tragedy has been a tipping point for me.#twittercongress1 reply 12 retweets 22 likes -
To be very clear, I own firearms. I have 4 guns that we own for personal and home protection. I support the
#SecondAmendment. But all of our rights have reasonable restrictions, and it's past time that we address the#gunviolence epidemic.#twittercongress4 replies 18 retweets 35 likes -
Having said that, I am ready to enact policies that share wide support: Universal background checks, a ban on military style assault-type weapons, and closing the loopholes that allow non-spouse domestic abusers to access guns.

These are #CommonSenseGunLaws that enjoy wide support. We can enact these on day one when we are elected in November. #twittercongress

As a scientist, I am in favor of removing the ban on the CDC's ability to study and make recommendations regarding gun violence issues. But as a scientist, I know how long it will take until we have that data. Our kids cannot afford to wait.

It is not enough to just say that we won't take
@NRA money. That's the easy part. We need legislators who have the courage to go further. To stand up and say#enough and#NotOneMore
