PRINCETON, NJ -- A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and other authorized people. When Gallup first asked Americans this question in 1959, 60% favored banning handguns. But since 1975, the majority of Americans have opposed such a measure, with opposition around 70% in recent years.

I have long thought this one issue cost Gore his home state of Tennessee and put the despicable Bush the Lesser in the White House.


The issue is now dead and put to rest.
