Most gun owners support restrictions. Why aren’t their voices heard?

[Lizzie Poppet]

55. Do you have info on the specific poll that arrived at that 49% figure?

I'd have to have a look at the methodology before accepting that it's indeed "scientific" (and yes, I'm qualified to make that assessment). I'd want to look at the text of the poll questions, the size of the sample set, the selection criteria, etc. That result is so vastly counterintuitive to my own experience* that I also have a problem accepting that figure at face value. Before accepting that poll's results, I'd want to assure myself that it's not a situation similar to the polls purporting to show a decrease in total number of gun owners (non-verified phone surveys on possession of a controversial item = useless).

*I'm a very active competitive shooter...I talk to a LOT of gun owners. Moreover, I've been involved in the gun control/gun rights issue for years, and thus have read countless articles relating to this subject. My evidence is still anecdotal, but it's a LOT of anecdotal evidence, and I'd be surprised if it were a skewed sample of gun owners.
