Two conclusions stand out in a 2006 poll of high school seniors -- this year's college freshmen -- on gun control issues. "The students we polled have had considerable exposure to guns and the threat of gun violence and they give almost universal support to the most commonly proposed gun control measures," Hamilton College Sociology Professor Dennis Gilbert, the poll's director, said. The poll was conducted in 2006 by Gilbert and his students, in collaboration with Zogby International.
