Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In the two years since, I've fought for gun safety laws that could have saved my brother and would save thousands of lives.
40% : The governor sat near Wayne LaPierre, who has spent NRA member dues on private jets and lawyers, and rejected the scores of doctors, law enforcement professionals, faith leaders and gun violence survivors begging him to do the right thing.
34% : After a mass shooting that killed more than two dozen people at a church in Sutherland Springs in 2017, Gov. Greg Abbott promised that discussions he was having around proposed gun laws "weren't just for show and for people to go off into the sunset and do nothing."
