Guns: Ban on Assault Weapons

Description

The U.S. federal ban on assault weapons expired in September 2004, which meant that after 10 years (since the ban was instituted in 1994) there were certain types of guns that could be manufactured legally again. A poll asked a random sample of 1,200 eligible voters (among other questions) whether they were satisfied with the fact that the law had expired. The data contains the results of this poll (Data were generated based on a poll conducted by NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll).
