Statistics are meaningless without knowing the method. You can asked loaded questions and easily sway people
Assault weapons were used to murder children,should assault weapons be banned? Most people will say ok makes sense yes
Assault weapons seldom are used to commit mass murders while most murders are commited using a handgun,do you feel assault weapons should be banned? People will be more likely to say no.
In the end most people dont really have a clue on whats happening in the world they live in so they will answer questions based on assumptions and media exposure. I seldom give much weight to surveys.
