Mass. voters weigh first statewide handgun ban proposal
Massachusetts voters confront a ballot measure to outlaw private ownership of handguns, with backers citing a potential 47 million buyback cost for 500000 licensed handguns and opponents arguing 700000 to one million guns remain in circulation. The measure, supported by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, would take effect six months after enactment and bans handguns with barrels under 16 inches except for select groups.

Senator Robert Dole retreated from labeling World War II and the Vietnam War as Democrat wars after backlash from Mondale and Carter allies. He said later he does not believe those wars were Democrat wars and argued strength deters attacks.
