Hi! We're researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are conducting a study to better understand audience evaluations of media coverage of gun regulations and gun rights. [More]I got this link as an off-topic comment to an earlier post, and didn't OK it because of the "Comment House Rules" (they're in the sidebar). Please send tips via email (dcodrea@hotmail.com) or via the Contact Form, also in the sidebar.
I'm not sure how the CSGV-affiliated "study" team hopes to have any kind of reliable results, because they gotta know RKBA advocates are gonna jump in. Maybe they wanted it to be kept secret?

"We reached you through the CSGV because we want to survey gun grabbers and conclude that their views represent those of the general population".
Any time I can help out the fake behavioral researchers at the University of Wisconsin and Mad Cows, I'm glad to lend a hand...
Sorry 'bout the rules violation sir.
It was a great tip, thank you.
The poll almost seemed endless, but I waded through it.
I contributed my three cents, reminding them that Haynes v US (SCOTUS, 1968) prevents universal background checks from applying to felons - since the gun registration needed to make the system "work" violates the felon's 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Wish they'd taken the 40% gun show lie as an example. Even the Wash Post has debunked that false factoid not once, but twice.
I filled out the survey as you would have.
In re the PolitiFact bullshit I added this to comments: http://www.politifactbias.com/.
Busted them for using the term assault rifle.
Survey presupposes all sorts of crap is the truth. IMO, the survey is mired in rhetorical BS - not fact. About what's expected by Prozis.
David,
I also spent the time to give them my opinion. I fear that the results of their survey make no difference to these people. But, at least I felt better letting them know that I considered their survey biased and of little value. I also hit them hard on incorrectly conflating the terms "assault rifle" with "modern sporting rifle". I wish I had more comment space to add that MSRs were not just for hunting and sporting uses, but for self defense of person and country. I wish I could have added that my definition of tyranny includes those that attempt to infringe on my God given and Constitutionally protected rights.
