There was a game show from about 1974 on this afternoon. They said they polled 100 people if they thought citizens should be able to arm themselves for protection in dangerous areas. They didn't say where the 100 people were polled. Hollywood Studio audience? Native Californians? Tourists? Who knows?
But the answer was 52 out of 100 felt citizens should have the right to arm themselves. Methinks that's askew for 1974.
