Oh, I think it sort of depends on how you ask the question. If you just ask "Do you think we should have Gun Control", you naturally get a very large positive response. Nobody is in favor of criminals owning firearms, after all. What those simple-minded polls do NOT measure is knowledge of current gun control laws, since if you check you find that the "additional gun control" laws the respondants favor are WEAKER than current laws. The poor gun controllers still haven't gotten over the votes in Mass and California to ban handguns. Pre-election polls showed that both measures would win in landslides, both lost 2 to 1. Since then they try not to let people vote on these things. <B evil G> -Karl
