Opinion: If Americans Really Want to Address Gun Violence, It's Democracy, Stupid

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : In fact, polling across the nation, even in Texas, indicates broad and majoritarian support for stricter gun regulations, including universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, "red flag" laws and more, and yet Republicans don't have to respond to the majority because they don't need a majority to elect them.
44% : Even when voters, living in regions where polls have indicated strong support for strict gun regulation, have had the opportunity to vote directly for ballot measures to enforce gun controls, the measures have failed.
42% : All of these issues -- women's right to choose, gun control, the rights of people to love how they want and marry whom they want, and much more -- depend on one issue: democracy.
