      That’s how many are willing to admit it to a pollster, which is a subset of who thought about it. We don’t know how big the larger set is.

        Which is a subset who would talk to a pollster in the first place

          Yes there is also the subset of people who’ve thought about it, and might tell a pollster, but avoid pollsters if at all possible.

        Without thinking about it first, it seems.

      The text of the question seems to be “I have thought about shooting another person or multiple people” and 7% responded “Strongly agree/agree/somewhat agree.” Looking at the 160 page pdf questionnaire, I’m guessing most respondents deduced the correct answer and didn’t want to cast aspersions on any of their other habits.
