Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : People bark about protections granted by the Second Amendment -- written during a time when weapons were muskets -- but seemingly refuse to acknowledge that few people are interested in taking away all guns from all citizens, just ones that are literally designed for mass killing.
46% : Lawmakers in the state where the Covenant School shooting took place have pushed to ease up on gun laws via two bills -- one that would drop the handgun carry age from 21 to 18 and another that would allow staff members in schools to carry concealed guns on school grounds with a permit.
37% : The Tennessee House voted on April 6 to expel two of three Democrats who led protests for stricter gun laws in the wake of the Covenant School shooting.
36% : While many governors are admirably standing in defiance of that decision, several Republican-led states leaned into it with "trigger laws" that immediately criminalized the practice of abortion.
28% : President Bill Clinton signed into law a Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994; the ban expired 10 years later.
25% : In the wake of the Nashville shooting, President Joe Biden renewed calls for an assault weapons ban.
