63% of Texans polled want more done, and that includes 49% of Republicans.
The polls shows attitudes about guns have changed since a teenager gunned down 19 kids and 2 teachers at a Uvalde Elementary schoolin May.

52% of voters support raising the age limit from 18 to 21 to buy an assault rifle, such a law would have prevented the Uvalde gunman from buying his weapon.
