Title: Does "Politicizing" Gun Violence Increase Support for Gun Control? Experimental Evidence from the Las Vegas Shooting.
Authors: Kantack, Benjamin R., Paschall, Collin E.
Source: Social Science Quarterly (Wiley-Blackwell). Mar2020, Vol. 101 Issue 2, p893-908. 16p. 5 Charts.
Subjects: Shootings (Crime), Gun control, Las Vegas Strip shooting, Las Vegas, Nev., 2017, Public opinion, Background checks
Abstract: Objective: Gun control advocacy regularly escalates in the aftermath of a mass shooting. But is the American public more susceptible to pro‐gun‐control arguments in the wake of mass gun violence? Methods: We analyze a survey experiment fielded immediately before and after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Results: Pro‐gun‐control arguments were not effective at increasing support for or confidence in expanded background checks before or after the Las Vegas shooting. Anti‐gun‐control arguments were less effective at reducing support for expanded background checks after the Las Vegas shooting. Conclusion: Even the largest mass shooting in American history was insufficient to mobilize public opinion on gun control in a way that would affect federal policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
