Gun control Two friends who strongly disagree on whether there should be stricter regulation of guns in this country want to conduct a poll of the students in their school to see which side most students agree with. Each came back with a different version of the question they want to ask.
Version 1: Do you think the government should respect our 2nd Amendment rights and allow lawabiding citizens to own guns?
Version 2: In the wake of recent mass shootings, should laws be passed to keep guns out of the hands of people with a history of violence?
a. Which version would make it seem like people oppose stricter gun regulation? What kind of bias is this?
b. Is the version you did not pick in part a less biased?
c. Is it reasonable for a person to respond 'yes' to both questions?
