89. Assault Weapons Ban


In 1994, the federal government enacted the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. The ban defined an assault weapon as a semi-automatic rifle or shotgun with features
common in military firearms (e.g. collabpsible stock, flash supressor, pistol grip, large capacity magazines). In 2004, Congress did not renew the legistlation and the
ban is no longer law. Some members of Congress have recently begun an effort to renew the federal assault weapons ban. Do you support or oppose legislation
that would ban "assault weapons"?

These days, peoples phone and e-mail communication is often encrypted to protect privacy and confidentiality. Would you favor or oppose reducing encryption
of communications to make it easier for the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) to monitor the activities of suspected
terroristseven if it might infringe on peoples privacy and affect business practices?

118. Support for Back Door Encryption Key Legislation


Hi-tech companies have started selling laptops, smartphones, tablets and other personal devices that encrypt data in a way that only the owner has access to
the data, not even the product manufacturers are able to gain access. Some people say this is necessary to prevent cyber thieves from gaining access to private
information. Other people say that this new encryption will allow terrorists and criminals to avoid detection. Do you support or oppose legislation that would require
companies to develop back door keys to encrypted data on these devices in order to provide the government access if it had a search warrant?

Target population

U.S. citizens, aged 18 and over.

Sampling method

Respondents were selected from YouGovs opt-in Internet panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by age, gender, race, education,
and region) was selected from the 2010 American Community Study. Voter
registration was imputed from the November 2010 Current Population Survey
Registration and Voting Supplement. Religion, political interest, minor party
identification, and non-placement on an ideology scale, were imputed from
the 2008 Pew Religion in American Life Survey.

Weighting

The sample was weighted using propensity scores based on age, gender,
race, education, news interest, voter registration, and non-placement on an
ideology scale. The weights range from 0.2 to 4.1, with a mean of one and a
standard deviation of 0.81.
