Voted. Sometimes the wording is weird. I always read it carefully several times.

"These online questions serve as examples, but results are not included in the official poll."

 

[Stschil]

As always, the question is misleading, intending to steer the answers toward the desired result.

I voted, but some of the questions were misleading and worded incorrectly, such as asking about background checks at gun shows. We all know that there are already background checks concerning dealer sales and that private sales is a completely different matter. Also, the reference to "assault rifles", what is their definition of an "assault rifle"?

 

[yepthatsme]

I really get tired of the misleading polling questions that confuse the uninformed, creating skewed results.

Could use more help voting here. Most of the questions are going our way, but we are losing on the question of whether there ought to be mandatory background checks for all sales, retail or private.

WishTV. I wish they had a clue!

Misleading is the whole point of the poll. That and they will make sure it is closed before it sways to show that the majority of people oppose their views.

The questions aren't misleading, they are pretty simple.
As stated above, our voting doen't change the results, the offiical poll was 602 people.

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining, most of the results are pro-gun.

A straightforward poll would have ask questions on what you supported, not what you opposed.

All of the questions are asked in a 'Back Door' way. I guess it would work well for Left Handed people??

My Wife is left handed+sees all things in REVERSE...Bill.

The poll asked the questions in the format of "do you favor or oppose...", which is pretty simple. The only question I thought was kinda loaded was this:

"Do you favor or oppose making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks?"

I think people mostly have either a misinformed or superficial understanding of that issue, which the administration, the media and anti gun groups, have helped bring about. I think if people really understood the details, more would be against. Still, Jojo the Union Ho Donnelly tried to tell us that Hoosiers overwhelmingly supported background checks for private sales, and we can see from this poll that's complete bullshat.

I really think that much of the media likes to use controversial polls and articles as a means to create more traffic to their website. The more controversy, the more traffic, the more ad revenue. It is a win win for them and if we should ignore them, then the poll results are skewed in the oppositions favor. It's like we are their puppets and they control our strings. We need to find a way to end this cycle.

Hey, do not insult those of us that are left-handed. Generally, we are more intelligent than average or we were just dropped more on our heads as babies. I have never heard or read a gun related poll that I liked the way that it was worded. Multiple choice polls really suck as none of the options are what I would say.

 

[jamil]

Obama is left handed.

Just sayin.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Oh yeah. Completely scientific survey, yep. Just 602 adults. Yeah, completely scientific.
