The Surprising Voice Missing From Gun-Control Talks

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Kelly defended Giffords while also noting that he was a gun owner and supporter of the Second Amendment.
39% : The bipartisan gun-control bill might help him, but chances are that Kelly will run this race as he did the last one, with a focus on issues such as jobs and border security rather than the one he's most famous for.
33% : Mark Kelly made his name advocating for new gun laws after his wife was shot, but he didn't play a central role in the big Senate compromise that passed last night.
32% : His victorious 2020 campaign to fill the remainder of the late Senator John McCain's term gave Kelly a far more powerful platform to shape federal gun laws.
31% : He's made more national headlines breaking with the Biden administration on southern-border policy and touting legislation to ban members of Congress from trading stocks than he has in championing gun control.
28% : Kelly's arm's-length approach to gun control is also consistent with how he's handled the issue since he became a politician, according to Democrats who have worked with him.
