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
