“…Our findings that the rate of gun ownership was not significantly correlated with the rate of mass shooting incidents are consistent with those reported by Lin et al and Nugent et al [ 8 , 38 ], but they conflict with results from some of the previous work on this topic [ 9 , 36 , 37 ]. The inconsistency in findings from different studies could be partly due to the different databases used by researchers to examine the mass shooting incidents.…”

“…However, Lin et al used the mass shooting data in the US from 1982 and 2018 to evaluate if some state-level risk factors—including gun ownership rate—could predict the state-level mass shooting rate, and they did not find a correlation between the rates of mass shootings and gun ownership [ 8 ]. Another study by Nugent et al also showed that there was no evidence of a relationship between mass shootings and gun ownership at the state level [ 38 ].…”

Mass shootings (incidents with four or more people shot in a single event, not including the shooter) are becoming more frequent in the United States, posing a significant threat to public health and safety in the country. In the current study, we intended to analyze the impact of state-level prevalence of gun ownership on mass shootings—both the frequency and severity of these events. We applied the negative binomial generalized linear mixed model to investigate the association between gun ownership rate, as measured by a proxy (i.e., the proportion of suicides committed with firearms to total suicides), and population-adjusted rates of mass shooting incidents and fatalities at the state level from 2013 to 2022. Gun ownership was found to be significantly associated with the rate of mass shooting fatalities. Specifically, our model indicated that for every 1-SD increase—that is, for every 12.5% increase—in gun ownership, the rate of mass shooting fatalities increased by 34% (p value < 0.001). However, no significant association was found between gun ownership and rate of mass shooting incidents. These findings suggest that restricting gun ownership (and therefore reducing availability to guns) may not decrease the number of mass shooting events, but it may save lives when these events occur.

“…The decrease in gross domestic product has a huge and lasting impact on the income inequality of developing countries from various stances. Nugent and Conway (2021) examined the relationship between ownership changes, income inequality and gross domestic product with various other factors. The findings indicate that the lack of growth in the gross domestic product and its sustainability shows a negative impact on income inequality.…”

Currently, income inequality has become an international issue that needs to be overcome and also requires the attention of researchers and policymakers. Hence, this study is an attempt to explore the impact of globalization, technology adoption, and economic development on income inequality. For this purpose, 20 years of large-scale panel data over the period from 2001 to 2020 for ten emerging Asian nations (Iran, Jordan, Iraq, Laos, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines) is mined from the World Bank database and KOF globalization index. In order to inspect the empirical relationship among the selected variables, the panel data fixed effects model (FEM) along with the robust standard error is employed. The results indicate that globalization, technology adoption, and economic development have a negative linkage with income inequality, which means these factors play a significant role in removing the income inequality in developing countries. This study provides insight for policymakers while developing policies regarding income inequality elimination in the country.

“…There are some factors that are salient to specific types of mass murder attacks. Government locations, for example, are salient to lone-wolf domestic terrorism which may be due to these offenders' likeliness to hold political ideologies (Nugent & Conway, 2021). Other comparisons between domestic terrorism and mass shooting incidents cannot be made due to the lack of results within the mass shootings sample.…”

“…Political ideologies or grievances were usually related to radical Islamic beliefs (Ghatak & Gold, 2017;Nugent & Conway, 2021). American citizens may sympathize with radical Islamic extremists or other foreign political opponents, even though these citizens have never met these perceived victims of American global politics (McCauley et al, 2013).…”
