My middle school son has a project due which requires a survey about gun ownership.
He has a survey up here:
There are only 3 or 4 questions.
You have to have a legit email address in case the teacher checks the link, but you can certainly use a fake name.
If you have a throwaway email and would like to help him out we would greatly appreciate it. He needs a dozen or so more responses and has run out of people to ask,

Done!
I don’t think the teacher will like my answers if she/he is a liberal.
Done.
Everyone should own a gun? Nope, I know a lot of scumbags who should not own a gun.
I took the survey. I don’t like the first question; it’s not clear enough. I do NOT believe that everybody should own a gun. I DO believe that everybody should have the RIGHT to own a gun. Big difference, there.
Done ~I put my State in as my name~One of those ‘Blue’ states, should throw off the curve...lol
Done. ;)

Done. I wish some of the questions had differentiated between long guns and handguns. I think just about anybody with his parents permission should be able to buy a single-shot long gun. I’m not certain about teenagers able to buy handguns. I’m open, just not certain.
The first question might better have been about the right to a weapon. Many I know would forgo the choice, and it sounded like a positive response would mean I think everyone should be required to have one.
Similarly, I believe in freedom of religion, but would not require a citizen to pick one if not so inclined.
Will the results be available to responders, of FR at large?
Done. I don’t check my throw-away e-mail often, so if your son needs more info. or confirmation from me, please freep-mail...
I agree with EGE
longjack, I hope your son will tabulate the results and let us know how he did on the paper.
Is the project about statistics? or the BOR? or a student-choice topic calculated to rile up a liberal teacher?
When my son finishes up I'll have him post his results on this thread.
We extend to you Freepers our heartfelt graditude.

Done. Now it’s time to do some shopping online at Midway.
Done
Yeah, I put that too. I was thinking “I know LOTS of people that shouldn’t have a gun”
Done.
He said that the project is about constitutional amendments. His group decided that they would do a survey about gun rights to see the 2nd amendent still fits the needs of the populace
The kids in his group wrote the questions.
That, at least, is my translation from fluent Eighth Grader to Old Guy English.
I wouldn't say his school or teacher are liberal or conservative. McCain won the straw poll there with 72% in grades 5-12.

Check out Graf and Sons.
