To address this question, my study examines the determinants of voting on firearm legislation. Adapting a political economy model originally used to analyze mortgage legislation and using a linear probability regression, I examine the effects of constituent interests, special interest groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA), political ideology, and mass shootings on how senators voted in three roll call votes. The results show that mass shootings are polarizing events, where a senator\u2019s voting response to an outbreak of mass shootings depends on his or her ideological outlook. For my preferred model, an additional victim increases the likelihood a senator with the median Republican ideology score will vote for increased gun control by only 1.2%; in contrast, a senator with a median Democrat score would be 15.4% more likely to vote for increased gun control. To counter these shifts in voting, the NRA would need to spend about $141,000 and $1,771,000 respectively. The results are sensitive to the varying measures of mass shootings drawn from different databases. Using sources that focused on highly publicized shootings or excluding injured victims can substantially alter the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View video presentation Title:\u00a0The Political Economy of Firearm Legislation Name: Amy Nguyen Major:\u00a0 Economics School affiliation:\u00a0 School of Arts and Sciences Programs:\u00a0 Honors College Capstone Other contributors:\u00a0 Eugene White Abstract: &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/nb-senior-exhibits\/partners\/honors-college\/nguyen-amy-the-political-economy-of-firearm-legislation\/\" class=\"\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":970,"featured_media":0,"parent":470,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-custom.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-797","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
