The rare nature of mass shootings, and particularly mass public shootings, seriously limits statistical power for detecting policy effects, and studies that find statistically significant associations of policies with mass shootings may greatly overestimate the magnitude of these effects. In 2013, Congress defined mass killing as a single incident that leaves three or more people dead (Pub. 72 Blattman, C., D. Green, D. Ortega, and S. Tobn, Place-Based Interventions at Scale: The Direct and Spillover Effects of Policing and City Services on Crime, BFI Working Paper, 2019. 29 Examining the Causal Pathways Behind Ideologically Motivated Mass Public Shootings,, Capellan, Joel A., and SimonPeter Gomez, Change and Stability in Offender, Behaviours, and IncidentLevel Characteristics of Mass Public Shootings in the United States, 19842015,, Capellan, Joel A., Joseph Johnson, Jeremy R.

As can be seen, the results strongly align with expectations, as an increase in proximity to a mass public shooting is associated with a significant increase in support for stricter gun control laws (=0.334, s.e.=0.172, p<0.05).Footnote 84 Callahan, Molly, The Story Behind the Data on Mass Murder in the United States, Northeastern University, August 13, 2019. In the next 10 years gun deaths in Australia fell by more than 50%. The rare nature of mass shootings creates challenges for accurately identifying salient predictors of risk and limits statistical power for detecting which policies may be effective in reducing mass shooting incidence or lethality. Finally, because individuals who perpetrate mass shootings often die by suicide (or expect to be killed by someone trying to stop the shooting), standard deterrence strategies used in crime prevention are unlikely to work; increasing the certainty or severity of punishments seems unlikely to be effective when the perpetrator already expects to die in the mass shooting.[17]. The leverage of extreme incidents is even clearer when examining trends in the number of casualties from mass public shootings over time (Figure 3).

Lott, Jr., Criminal Deterrence, Geographic Spillovers, and the Right to Carry Concealed Handguns,, Brunson, R. K., A. Given these limitations, most data sources for mass shootings do not derive solely from the SHR. 15 Some sources (e.g., the AP/USA TODAY/Northeastern University Mass Killings database) combine information from both news reports and the SHR, others (e.g., Mother Jones) rely on news reports alone, and some (e.g., the Mass Shooter Database) combine information from law enforcement records, social media, court transcripts, news accounts, and other primary and secondary sources to obtain detailed information on the characteristics of each incident and offender (see Table 2). These inconsistencies lead to different assessments of how frequently mass shootings occur and whether they are more common now than they were a decade or two ago. A 2019 study published in the British Medical Journal found that US states with more permissive gun laws and greater gun ownership had higher rates of mass shootings.

Probabilities obtained from post-estimation analysis using CLARIFY (Tomz, Wittenberg and King 2003). Vince, Joseph J., Timothy Wolfe, and Layton Field. 25 Shifting our focus to the individual-level controls, we see that gun control is more likely to be opposed by men, homeowners, individuals in the military or from military families, and by those identifying with the political right. While there is currently a wide swath of descriptive analysis of aggregate polling data on gun legislation, there is a surprising dearth of individual-level research on the effects of mass shootings. Gun Control, Note: entries are unstandardized regression coefficients from multilevel logistic regression models with random intercepts (zip) estimated using xtlogit in the software package Stata. 3 Impact of change in proximity to shooting on change in probability of favoring gun control over gun rights Note: entries are point estimates for the first difference in the predicted probability of believing gun control IS more important than gun rights associated with changes in the values of key predictor variables. Suicide attacks have occurred throughout history, often as part of a military campaign (as with the Japanese kamikaze pilots of 19441945 during World War II), and more recently as part of Thus the literature on perceived threat and anxiety helps us explain one potential mechanism through which proximity to mass shootings may impact their salience.

Most of these studies are purely descriptive, not comparative, and thus should not be interpreted as providing evidence of whether specific individual-level or community-level characteristics are predictive of someone perpetrating a mass shooting. We present the results from this analysis in Figure 2, as well as Appendix Table B5. In addition, social or psychological proximity in the form of knowing someone who was victimized by a terrorist event heightened the sense of personal vulnerability and feelings of anxiety after 9/11.Footnote A suicide attack is any violent attack, usually entailing the attacker detonating an explosive, where the attacker has accepted their own death as a direct result of the attacking method used. http://www.whatthefolly.com/2012/12/18/transcript-brady-campaign-pres-dan-gross-presses-lawmakers-to-solve-americas-gun-violence-epidemic/.

We only find a systematic relationship between proximity and gun control attitudes when focusing on mass shootings occurring within the past 20 years. The data from multiple studies suggest a slight increase in the incidence rate of mass public shootings over the past four decades (Cohen, Azrael, and Miller, 2014; Krouse and Richardson, 2015; Duwe, 2020). For instance, approximately 75 per cent of New Yorkers were worried that they or their family members would be the victim of a future attack, compared to only 31 per cent of all Americans, in the weeks after the 9/11 attacks.Footnote Data sets that use definitions based solely on objective criteria that are widely available across multiple sources (e.g., fatality counts) likely offer greater reliability compared with data sets that rely on objective criteria that may not be consistently reported across multiple sources (e.g., nonfatal shooting injury counts) or that may be difficult to operationalize (e.g., public location). Gallup measures Americans' gun ownership each October as part of its Crime poll -- one of 12 surveys that make up the Gallup Poll Social Series.

Ressler, Robert K., Ann W. Burgess, and John E. Douglas. Thus an important additional (placebo) test of the robustness of our results is whether the effects we observe for proximity to a mass shooting on gun control attitudes influence treatment-irrelevant political attitudes. A rampage killer has been defined as follows: A rampage involves the (attempted) killing of multiple persons at least partly in public space by a single physically present perpetrator using (potentially) deadly weapons in a single event without any cooling-off period.[1]. The recent spate of mass public shootings in the United States raises important questions about how these tragic events might impact mass opinion and public policy. Broader definitions (e.g., from the Gun Violence Archive) provide a more comprehensive depiction of the prevalence of gun violence, but they obscure the variety of circumstances in which these incidents take place and their associated policy implications.

Donohue III, and Alexandria Zhang, The Impact of Right-to-Carry Laws and the NRC Report: Lessons for the Empirical Evaluation of Law and Policy,. and Lassi, Thomas What is distinctly missing is research focusing on another important form of variation in exposure to gun violence via mass public shootings spatial variation in proximity to where these events occur. Using this criterion helps reduce measurement error in identifying mass shootings because fatalities are captured in administrative data and are frequently included in media reports (Duwe, 2000). Another fundamental issue in documenting mass shootings, and in reconciling differences across data sets, is that the methods used to collect information on mass shootings also vary across sources. For example, these databases rely upon different sources of information, with the Stanford data relying on online reports and the USA Today data relying on FBI reports. Turning to the contextual controls in Table 1, we find some interesting but unsurprising effects. For decades, political roadblocks have stalled such efforts in the US. In Beverly Hills doctors offices, celebrities are clamoring for Ozempic prescriptions but what are the costs of the supposed wonder drug? Reported significance levels are based upon two-tailed hypothesis tests. Another definitional disagreement is whether to include multiple-victim shooting incidents that occur in connection with some other crime or domestic dispute. Other researchers and analysts have noted that many mass shooters have a history of domestic violence. Morry Gash - staff, AP Criminals, Victims, and the Culture of Violence,, Glatt, K. M., Helpline: Suicide Prevention at a Suicide Site,, Gold, Sharon L., Why Are Victims of Domestic Violence Still Dying at the Hands of Their Abusers? Meanwhile, mass shootings continue to drive demand for more guns, experts say, with gun control activists arguing the time for reform is long overdue. Although these issues create problems for understanding the prevalence and patterns of mass shootings at a given point in time, they are exacerbated when trying to understand how mass shootings have evolved over time; this is because of temporal variation in the completeness of underlying data sources that could be used to identify and classify incidents. The takeaway point of these results is that the effect of Proximity to Shooting observed in the full sample is not driven by one specific partisan group in a manner that is statistically significant. It is also possible that the number of firearms in the local area influences the likelihood of a mass shooting and attitudes toward gun control. In 2014, the FBI released a study showing that active shooting incidents had increased at an average annual rate of 16 percent between 2000 and 2013 (Blair and Schweit, 2014). Cook, Philip J., and Jens Ludwig, The Effect of the Brady Act on Gun Violence, in B. Harcourt, ed., Cook, Philip J., and Jens Ludwig, The Social Costs of Gun Ownership,, Cook, P. J., and J. Ludwig, Policing Guns: Why Gun Violence Is Not (Just) a Public Health Problem,, Cook, Philip J., J. Ludwig, and A. Reference Schlenger, Caddell, Ebert, Jordan, Rourke, Wilson, Thalji, Dennis, Fairbank and Kulka2002; Schuster et al. Setting a threshold of zero victims increases the potential for measurement error, because shooting incidents with no casualties are more difficult to identify from police records and are less likely to receive media coverage (Duwe, Kovandzic, and Moody, 2002). Thus, there is value in having multiple measurements of mass shootingsbut only if their definitions are clearly and precisely explained and they are used by researchers in a manner appropriate to the analysis. Maguire, E. R., C. W. Telep, and T. Abt, The Effectiveness of Street Outreach Worker Programs for Reducing Violence: A Systematic Review, Campbell Collaboration, 2018. 46 The percentage of U.S. adults who own guns has remained stable for more than a decade. The results from our analysis are presented in Column 1 of Table 1. Reported significance levels are based upon two-tailed hypothesis tests. Importantly, for ease of interpretation of the results, we recoded this variable to range from farther to closer (in miles) to an event. As can be seen, even after controlling for prior attitudes which is expectedly one of the most powerful predictors in the model having a mass shooting occur close by between survey waves is associated with a significant increase in the probability of favoring stricter gun control laws.

Wiersema, Estimates of the Frequency of Firearm Self Defense from the National Crime Victimization Survey, Albany, N.Y.: State University of New York, School of Criminal Justice, Violence Research Group Discussion Paper 20, 1998 (unpublished). A predictable feature of the discourse following mass shootings in the United States is the polarized response by gun rights and gun control activists. The FBI active shooting reports, which are now produced annually, identified 20 active shooter incidents in 2016, 30 incidents in 2017, 27 incidents in 2018, and 28 incidents in 2019 (FBI, 2018g, 2019g, 2020).

More recently, between 2016 and 2018, the annual rate of all mass shooting incidents was about one incident per 14 million people (Duwe, 2020). This leads to the following hypothesis: Hypothesis 5 (Dissipation Hypothesis): The effect of proximity to a mass public shooting on support for gun control should dissipate as time passes.
