ORIGINAL: graceadieu While we're talking about gun-related polls, a recent ABC/WaPo poll showed that 65% of Americans support banning magazines that carry over 10 rounds. And the http://www.people-press.org/2012/12/20/after-newtown-modest-change-in-opinion-about-gun-control/ found that "(65%) think that allowing citizens to own assault weapons makes the country more dangerous", and a plurality of respondents felt that gun control was more important than gun rights. Got any idea of the sample size? My younger sister works for a company that does polls, and she flat out told me that some polling companies actually look for samples to skew the results, unless they are told by the people wanting the poll they want an unbiased sampling. I have seen recent polls for the assault weapon ban, opposed the ban, pro second amendment, anti second amendment so I really dont trust polls. What is strange is there are international polling firms that basically have computers randomly pick numbers out of phone data bases from all states, but I only know of one group that contracted them for a poll, and that was in 83.
