The Gun Gap: The Influence of Gun Ownership on Political Behavior and Attitudes FEAT. Mark Joslyn
In episode 59 of the Wolf and Bull podcast, the team had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Joslyn, author of the impactful book The Gun Gap: The Influence of Gun Ownership on Political Behavior and Attitudes and Professor of Political Science at the University of Kansas. Author of over 50 journal articles featured in The American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Public Opinion Quarterly, and more, Professor Joslyn brings a bevy of information worthy of analysis and discussion. In this episode, we discuss how his book displays compelling evidence that we should classify gun owners as a distinct group when measuring political behavior. We also discuss how the "gun gap" captures the difference between legal gun owners and non-owners, and how accounting for that gap improves conventional behavioral and attitudinal models in political science.
