Contributing sentiments towards policy:
45% : Like the current officeholder, Oh Cleveland told the Statesman that he also opposes the gun safety bill, largely based on what he called the "lack of due process" that could grant law enforcement the ability to take away a person's right to gun ownership if they are deemed dangerous.45% : In a written statement released after the House vote, Simpson said he supported the mental health components of the bill, but shared worries over the inclusion of "unacceptable language aimed at chipping away law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights.""I am particularly concerned with the provisions that pave the way towards universal background checks and create waiting periods for some adults to purchase firearms," Simpson said.
40% : Such restrictions allow law enforcement to seek approval from judges to temporarily remove firearms from people deemed a danger to others, or themselves.
39% : Last year, Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a bill into law that hindered enforcement statewide in response to several Biden executive actions involving firearms, their accessories and ammunition that conflict with the Idaho Constitution.
16% : He signed into law Saturday morning, making it the first significant piece of gun legislation since the decadelong assault weapons ban passed in 1994 under former Democratic President Bill Clinton.
