[QUOTE="Nraman, post: 1441037, member: 10001"] I think that you can word the questions in a way that you can get the results you want. In this particular case if you add the numbers you get a majority. "24% of adults selected stricter gun control laws, 15% favored better mental health screening, 9% favored more education for children about violence and the proper use of guns, and 8% favored more extensive background checks for gun purchasers." What they forgot to tell us is that a person that favors better mental screening does not necessarily want stricter gun controls and so on. After they make the calls they "weigh" the results depending on the people polled and what the pollster thinks. [/QUOTE]
