Correcting the polls
NRA has a bit on understanding the polls conducted by Bloomberg’s anti-gun group. The questions the poll asked do not indicate support for the laws the group claims:
The poll also asked if participants agreed that “The federal government should not restrict the police’s ability to access, use, and share data that helps them enforce federal, state and local gun laws,” when in fact the Tiahrt Amendment fully allows access to trace information, as long as it’s related to crimes that they’re actually investigating.
The media didn’t seem to notice the rebuttal.

“The Word Doctors,” whose slogan is “It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear.” Word Doctors’ president is a pollster who has been reprimanded by the American Association for Public Opinion Research and censured by the National Council on Public Polls, and who says that the key to polling is “to ask a question in the way that you get the right answer.” /quote
