Identify the abuse of statistics.A researcher wished to gauge public opinion on gun control. He randomly selected 1000 people from among registered voters and asked them the following question " Do you believe that gun control laws which restrict the ability of Americans to protect their families should be eliminated?" Identify the abuse of statistics and suggest a way the researcher's methods could be improved.

The question is loaded. A more neutral way to phrase the question would be, for example, "Do you believe that gun control laws should be strengthened, weakened, or left in their current form?"
