Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : As a mother, my heart aches for the families of all students and staff impacted.
61% : We are still learning all the details, but my heart goes out to the Perry community and all affected by this senseless act of violence.
45% : Lawmakers should prioritize measures that will keep guns out of Iowa classrooms and make Iowans safer, over gun lobby priorities like reintroducing a law to require children enrolled in firearm safety training programs in public schools to go through the National Rifle Association's "Eddie Eagle" program.
43% : Schools everywhere should be a sanctuary for us, not a place where we have to wonder whether or not we'll be shot.
