Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Two days after a mass shooting at a Tennessee school, the North Carolina legislature loosened state gun laws by lifting the requirement for local sheriffs to approve pistol purchases as lawmakers completed the override of a bill Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed last week.
36% : "The evidence is clear -- weak gun laws equals more death, a fact North Carolina lawmakers are willfully disregarding to curry favor from gun extremists."
