Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : This move will also sharpen existing enforcement measures to ensure that the background screenings -- which have not traditionally been necessary at certain gun sale locations -- are carried out in more circumstances.
49% : Implementation of the 2022 law focused on the Justice Department's provision of public clarification about who qualifies as a firearms dealer.
46% : There are several carveouts for when gun transfers will not require a background check, including private transfers among family members and the liquidation of a personal collection without restocking.
22% : "We know how to prevent these tragedies and it's a false choice to suggest you are either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away," Harris said.
