A researcher wants to gauge public opinion on gun control. He randomly selects 1000 people and asks: "Do you believe that gun control laws which restrict the ability of Americans to protect their families should be eliminated?"

(a) Determine the type of bias. (Mention one of the types of bias from section 1.5.)

(b) Suggest a way the researcher's methods could be improved to eliminate the bias.
