I really do object to the characterization that these studies
and statistics are being promulgated by political scientists.
Just because BI uses the word "science" in the title of their
article doesn't mean that these studies or statistics have
any connection to the study of political science at all.
It would seem to me that these types of studies are written
by sociologists, otherwise known as social scientists. More
specifically, sociologists who major in criminology and who
study criminal behavior trends within society and the reasons
why individuals have committed mass murders and other gun
related crimes, whether motivated by pyschological, social or
political reasons such as related to terrorism. And then try to
statistically analyze the effects of gun policies and gun use on
society.
"What is a sociologist job?
Sociologists typically do the following: Design research projects
to test theories about social issues. Collect data through
surveys, observations, interviews, and other sources. ...
Consult with and advise clients, policymakers, or other groups on
research findings and sociological issues."
