Step-by-step explanation:

The question is biased with an opinion that directs the surveyed people to respond by a negative answer.

The problematic part is "which restrict the ability of Americans to protect their families".  That's a judgement value and an opinion that prevents the people to give an honest answer to the base question.

"Do you believe that gun control laws should be eliminated?", would be a more correct version of that biased question.  An even better question would be to identify a specific law in the question.

the answer is 0.071

good luck! : d
