Its easy to line up questions.
Do you feel that people dying to senseless violence is wrong ?
Do you feel gang violence is bad ?
Do you think that armed gangsters should be held accountable for the crimes they commit with guns ?
Do you know statistcally many die from hand guns ?
Should hand guns be harder for people to get ?
See you can jade a poll to what you want then the result is 75% of americans want stricter handgun control.
I dont trust polls for this reason they ask a battery of questions and choose one that is there end result or a few.

I remember the Washington Post did a study on their polls a few weeks back. They polled people about the war in Iraq, national security, President Bush, etc, but before taking the poll they showed some people images from September 11 and the war and showed how peoples' opinions in the polls differed. There were huge differences in the results because peoples' opinions differ based on their emotions at any given moment.
