Public Opinion and Media Consumption Study

[Tuffus]

Here is a gun control survey by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I did it so they can get some response from responsible gun owners. Just making it available to some like minded people.

The content of the survey should cause no more discomfort than you would experience in your everyday life. 

What is this disclaimer all about?  Are they expecting some UW students to take it?  

I'll hit it later on this evening.

It is obviously heavily biased. The questions are very leading.

Not sure if I'd call it biased...we tend to look at anything that isn't pro-gun as biased.

I do think it might be used as a survey to gauge of the impact from the articles (AP and Politifact) moreso than a gun rights/restrictions survey.

I started the survey and quickly reached the same conclusion.  Didn't see any need to complete it.  An unbiased survey does not acknowledge it was distributed based on participation in an anti-gun organization.

Did the part about where the researcher suggested that a pro-2a stance on the topic was obviously wrong, give it away?

I filled it out completely with all the 2a stuff, then put everything as a liberal.  If enough people do that it'll destroy the survey, there's no way they would be able to manipulate the effects by excluding outliers.  Plus a side benefit is that it *should* create a bimodal distribution on the output.

Well, I'm just an old Redneck with a very conservative and very old High School education so not even going to attempt to get involved in this..............
