On Wednesday, Feb. 14, a 19-year-old gunman walked onto the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, armed with what police say was a military-style semi-automatic rifle and countless magazines — and killed at least 17 people. He was a troubled man who had shown repeated signs of being unstable and yet was able to legally obtain a semi-automatic rifle capaable of causing unimaginable carnage.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott called the attack “pure evil” and vowed to have a real conversation about sensible gun legislation, saying, “The violence has to stop. We cannot lose another child in this country to gun violence in a school.

On Friday, President Obama signed the Sexual Assault Survivor Bill of Rights — also known as H.R. 5578 — into law.
The bill received bipartisan support, passing unanimously through both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The bill was written and championed by Nguyen — a rape survivor — and the advocacy organization she created, Rise.
