45% : This is precisely the definition of "sensitive locations" that the Supreme Court in NYSRPA considered and rejected:In [Respondents'] view, 'sensitive places' where the government may lawfully disarm law-abiding citizens include all 'places where people typically congregate and where law-enforcement and other public-safety professionals are presumptively available.' . . .
44% : But expanding the category of 'sensitive places' simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of 'sensitive places' far too broadly.
38% : The Second Amendment is crystal clear.
