Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : The law enforcement and Texas government response to the Uvalde shooting and the overturn of Roe v. Wade have given Democrats two highly charged causes to rally around, and O'Rourke's campaign said at the July convention that over 78,000 volunteers knocked on over 100,000 doors in June alone.
33% : He criticizes current gun laws allowing for the purchase of AR-15 style rifles "designed for use on the battlefield in Vietnam to penetrate an enemy soldier's helmet from 500 feet and knock him down dead" when the heckler loudly laughs off-screen.
