Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : California Congresswoman Judy Chu, who represents the state's 28 Congressional District, reportedly called for universal background checks in the wake of Saturday night's tragic mass shooting in Monterey Park, telling CBS News it should have passed "a long time ago.""But in California," noted Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, "that has been the law for quite some time.
45% : Yet, Rep. Chu is making statements suggesting her state needs more gun control when it is clear the laws she wants are already on the books, and they did not prevent the tragedy in Monterey Park."
40% : Surely she must realize our Second Amendment is a cornerstone of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
40% : We certainly sympathize with the people in Monterey Park, but asking for gun laws that already exist, and failed to prevent this crime, amounts to running in circles, and that's not the way to make progress."
