You sound (read) like you missed the point. I was explaining how polls get the results they want.
This was my post, in its entirety:
III>>>"Would you support legislation that, if passed, would eliminate mass-shootings at schools?"
Who would say "no" to that? Of course the polls will show an overwhelming majority in favor. It's a no-brainer.
But, phrase the question in a way that's more dry and to the point: "Would you support a ban on the most-popular type of rifle in civilian ownership, of which there are currently over five million owners, and which belongs to a class of firearm of which over one million are sold each year?" Then, your answer would likely be markedly different.
And, as mentioned, there are a LOT of gun owners, tired of being vilified and lambasted, who will not admit much to an anonymous poller.<<<III
My post (#18) has been edited to explain itself.
