A growing number of people fear a mass shooting could take place in
their community, and an overwhelming majority support background checks
for gun sales, according to a new poll.

Sixty percent of Americans said they are worried about a mass shooting
in their own community, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll
released Monday. That's up 5 points compared to January 2013, when 55
percent of Americans said they feared a mass shooting.

It's sadly ironic, that the very thing that you *think* makes you
safe(guns), is the very thing that brings you fear.

I guess that could have been said in WWII about the Royal Air Force and
the German air force. And maybe still today.


Was anyone in this group polled with that question? I never was. They
poll a small group of Americans and 55 out of 100 represent the entire
US population? Stop believing in polls. They are skewed to fit their agenda.

This group does not represent a random sample of Americans. They polled
more than 1000 people, a sufficient size for statistical significance.

The Hill provided a link to the survey's design methodology. If you don't
understand it, take a course in statistics, then try again. You may need
linear algebra and possibly calculus as a prerequisite.

The flaw in all of these polls is they are only polling people who
will actually take a robot call from an unknown number. That certainly
narrows the sample. You are limiting the people who take personal
security seriously from your poll before you even start.
