Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% :Gun control advocates, galvanized by recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvdale, heard speeches from local activists and politicians, including House District 18A DFL candidate Jeff Brand, of St. Peter, and St. Peter City Councilor Keri Johnson.
46% : The proposed framework, which has not been written into legislation, would provide federal dollars to states that implement "red flag" laws, allowing law enforcement to confiscate firearms from dangerous individuals and dedicate billions of dollars toward mental health and school safety resources.
46% : "The NRA will continue to oppose any effort to insert gun control policies, initiatives that override constitutional due process protections and efforts to deprive law-abiding citizens of their fundamental right to protect themselves and their loved ones into this or any other legislation."
44% : "As a state representative, one of the things that I was not given was common sense things like universal background checks or extreme risk protection orders or making sure that everybody who had a weapon had a safe place to put it and that gun was not accessible to children," said Brand.
43% : "We encourage our elected officials to provide more resources to secure our schools, fix our severely broken mental health system and support law enforcement," the NRA wrote in a statement.
39% : After hearing from guest speakers, protesters circled the park chanting demands for legislators to enact stricter gun control legislation, while some carried signs for assault weapons bans.
