Simply claiming something, and putting up a link that doesn't say what you've claimed, is a bad habit, but somehow, I don't see you breaking it.
Now, here's what's happening in the real world today: "Alexander Ford "CEO... has been developing web sites and online technology for law enforcement and public safety for the past twelve years and is highly committed to providing the information and tools that first responders need to better protect their communities and come home safe at the end of the day. He’s widely recognized as one of the leading minds in bringing online technology to the challenges first responders face on a day to day basis. He has also served as the primary product architect behind PoliceOne.com, Blutube.com, PoliceGrantsHelp.com, the PoliceOne Academy and the numerous other public safety websites that Praetorian has created." http://www.policeone.com/corporate-profile/Alexander-Ford/
Your criticisms of the survey fail, both factually and logically. It is what it is, and can be evaluated on its own merits, without the tinfoil hat conspiracy theories, or innumerate mangling of statistics.

What you are failing to mention, is that PoliceOne started out as special interest forum like any other (such as Collarme), and the logical advertisers sought them out.. the growth and corporate status came later.
Cart...horse?
I failed to mention it because it's not true. I have a bad habit of that.
It wasn't an advertiser who sought 'them' out, it was a marketing company (and a good one) that created the site.
http://www.policeone.com/about/
"If you are a manufacturer, distributor, service provider or technology company targeting the Law Enforcement market, PoliceOne is an outstanding medium for marketing and advertising. Learn more about how to reach the Police Market."
The parent company is Praetorian Group, a marketing LLC for first responders and security professionals in all sectors.
Personally, I think the company is providing a useful service, there being so many in that industry nowadays.
I was just pointing out that it is as normal as a Rockwell painting for a company to want to make money, to want to hire the best marketing strategists they can find, for the marketing company to do their best to serve their clients, and lastly and most importantly, that designing special purpose surveys that best serve the economic interests of their clients (which includes gun manufactures in the case of PoliceOne.com) is SOP for any good (i.e., still in business) marketing company.
It's not rocket science, it's market science.
