An amazing case for reducing gun ownership in America

For what it's worth, Abe Lincoln was elected in 1860 with only around 40% of the popular vote....

...and still the leader in the popular vote.

Many Presidents have been elected with less than a majority of the popular vote. More germane to the point in question would have been Presidents who have been elected despite not winning the popular vote, such as JQ Adams in 1824 (31% to Jackson's 41%), Hayes in 1876 (48% to Tilden's 51%), B Harrison in 1888 (48% to Cleveland's 49%), and w in 2000 (47.9% to Gore's 48.4%). JQA even finished 2nd in electoral votes, but since none of the 4 electoral college vote-getters got a majority, the House settled the election.
