I am curious of the distance of the sample distribution and society's was when that question was asked. To clarify, assuming jurors were picked randomly and people did not try to actively defer (or maybe use a different trick) to land on that case, how many of them strived really hard to stay as jurors that were gun owners etc.
P.S. The gun culture surprises a part of me every day recently. Another part of me responds as "yeah, I kinda saw that coming a mile away. Want some refreshing tea?"
P.S.2 25/30 might be a lot or acceptable depending on the country or region. The reasoning for gun ownership and lack of training and common misconceptions about weapon usage in general are things that terrify me. (E.g. Canadians and Swiss have a higher gun ownership probability, yet...) The notion that arming schools is even suggested by some people, even if they are emotionally affected (victims), shows extreme and dangerous ignorance about gun usage and handling. Really U.S. should be the last country to even joke about that (e.g. kid went to school with a clock and got arrested due to fear it might have been a bomb, guy shoots pedestrian, swat team responds to a fake call during the night and kills the occupant)
P.S.3 Prediction: If we continue like this, the public shootings will increase to the point of becoming a normal news report on a Tuesday night.
