And I will tell you this, legislators stood on the floor and said extreme risk protection orders will save no lives. They have saved lives. The data is there. We can prove that. And I will say the same thing. If we get a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, fewer people will get shot in Minnesota and die. That is simply the way the data is and that's one that I'm willing to say we need to fight for. Thank you, Governor Walz. Question now for Tess. (50:49–50:56)
