More gun stats for you to chew on. This poll was conducted in August 1999, when Columbine was still fresh in people's minds. I'm not sure the figures would be as high today. However, the stat that jumped out at me was that slightly more than half of Americans believe the 2nd Amendment should be modified or eliminated. saf.org ******************************************************** The Columbine High School shootings have generated public opinion for stricter gun regulations, more limits on violence in entertainment and heightened security measures in public places, according to a recent poll by USA Weekend. • 70% support new restrictions on gun ownership. • 25% of women would ban guns outright (compared to 13% of men). • 52% say the Second Amendment right to bear arms should be modified or eliminated. • 89% say parents are most responsible for keeping violent media materials away from kids. *********************************************************
