Yousuf Munir and Kayla Reidy, ‘21, were inspired to activism after the Parkland shooting. Munir sees the United States as “pushing really hard for the things that we want and that are good for us as kids and as people and as Americans,” in terms of gun legislation following Parkland. The House of Representatives is composed of a “majority of ‘gun sense’ candidates” and has “introduced a bill for universal background checks,” according to Munir. However, Reidy believes there is more work to do. “I think that we still have a long way to go until everything is completely safe and every school, and I think really the only solution for that is more common sense gun control,” Reidy said.
