I am currently in the process of doing research for my Master's thesis. The topic is gun violence/gun control/ the influence of the media. The title of this little gem is "Gun Violence and the Media Influence on America. Is the media, by offering predjudicial information actually creating a more dangerous environment." One of the premises that I need to prove is that media misinformation creates a more dangerous environement by creating a predjudice agains firearms. The inverse of that would be that a society which encourages private firearm ownership is much safer for everyone becuase the bad guys don't know who is and who isn't carrying. <P>As part of the research, I have prepared a questionaire to be answered at random without coaching. I currently have received about 500 responses to this survey and would like to conclude the research with at least 1000 responses. It is posted at this address: <A HREF="http://www.jacksonholewyoming.net/elk/survey.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.jacksonholewyoming.net/elk/survey.html</A> <P>Please take a couple of minutes and answer the questions. Please don't foget to complete the demographic questions at the end. Without those, the rest of it is useless to me. You could even pass the address around and get your friends to respond. I don't care if they hunt or not, own guns or not, I don't even care if they voted for Al Gore in the last election. <P>Thanks for your help. If anyone has any questions, you can send them to:<BR>danshinn  hotmail.com.<P>Thanks<BR> [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

Done, but still wondering ....<BR>Is #7 a trick question? If not, it might be a good idea to define "assault weapon" in order to keep everyone on the same page.<BR>Good luck with your thesis.

Done.<BR>Just for the record though....<BR>The terms "Gun violence" and "Assault weapon" are meaningless,anti-gun drivel intend to incite fear amoung the ignorant soccer moms in our society.<BR>I'm surprised you included such ignorant terms in such an otherwise intelligent and unbiased poll.<BR>I wish ya luck!<BR>Cheers!<BR>Pat

did it<P>When I hear "Assault weapon" I think of the leagel definition, but on TV it is used as a term to scare people into thinking of a MP-5, Mac 10 or other fully atomatic weapons, so people are happy to hear of bans on these gus, even thow they don't exactlay know what it means.
