In the year 2000, Hamilton College sponsored a national survey to probe high school students' attitudes toward gun issues. The survey included a question about whether or not the respondents were in favor of the following: "Require a 5-day waiting period between the purchase and delivery of a handgun, to keep the buyer from acting on impulse against himself or others."13 Did the surveyors want respondents to be in favor or opposed; or is it impossible to tell from the wording of the question?
