Right to own guns
The investigation is about how people react to gun control problem through different groups of people, different ages and different genders.
The Dependent Variable (DV): Should people have the right to own guns.
The Three Independent Variables (IVs): Race, age and gender.
Race
Colion Noir(2013) states that the racial discrimination still exist in some states in United States.
African-Americans belief owning guns is the only way to protect themsmaelves when they are helpless because the government will not be here at that moment. The first
hypothesis is that those who are African-Americans are more willing to have the right to own guns than Caucasisan.
Gender
Carton (2004) found that gun control have a more beneficial impact on females than males. There are higher rate of females died than males because of gun killing. The
second hypothesis is that those who are females are more likely opposed to have the right to own guns than males.
Age
Reich, Culross and Behrman (2002) researched college students who died in gun and found that a large number of them were killed by peers. Adults should have the right
to own guns but rise the restricted age. College students may be not mature enough to control their emotion. Thus, the third hypothesis is that those who are young
more likely to against the young to have the right to own guns.
