Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : In Washington, bipartisan negotiations last week yielded a package on Sunday that left out several proposals pushed by gun control advocacy groups, including a requirement that people who purchase AR-15-style rifles be 21 or older, universal background checks, safe storage requirements for private ownership, and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
51% :DeWine, a Republican, signed House Bill 99, which will reduce the amount of training school staffers need to carry a firearm to work from 700 hours -- the standard amount needed for law enforcement agents.
48% :Democratic lawmakers in the state have been joined by teachers' unions as well as the Fraternal Order of Police and local law enforcement officials in opposing House Bill 99, with Akron Deputy Police Chief Brian Harding telling the Plain Dealer, "We've worked for years trying to keep guns out of schools and now we're putting them in schools.""The expectation now is to have teachers trained to that level, to engage someone that potentially could come into a school and start killing kids and adults," Cleveland Police Chief Wayne Drummond told the newspaper.
32% : Both bills were signed three weeks after a gunman killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a massacre that reignited public demand for stricter gun control.
