More on gun control?

I read your magazine with great interest because of the top-notch articles that are presented. In the past I remember terrific articles on the possible future advances in the treatment of diabetes and almost heroic efforts of alumni in business and activities to benefit society. I found one item from the October/00 University of Chicago Magazine almost too incredible to believe ("More gun control," page 11). It seems that a survey was conducted with some astonishing results with regards to how Americans feel about gun control. Is there a chance to see what questions were asked on the survey and in general what areas of the country were represented?

Keep up the good work in keeping the alumni informed about all that seems to go on in our country and the world.

The 1999 National Gun Policy Survey, conducted by the National Opinion Research, shows American opinion has not changed over the last four years. To read the complete study on the Web, go to: www.norc. uchicago.edu/online/gunrpt.pdf.-Ed.
