N2  - How scientific are the polls reported in the media on the gun control issue? Without arguing for or against gun controls, this article examines the interviewing and sampling methods used by media polls and finds that some polls claiming impressive majorities in favor of severe gun controls may not be accurate.    A longer version of this article was originally published in Political Communication and Persuasion, vol. 9, pp. 69-92 (1992).<p />
