Is anyone else watching this open publication: Cell Press/Patterns? https://www.cell.com/patterns/home
I found the following paper on correlating firearm purchase/demand with mass shootings. https://www.cell.com/patterns/fulltext/S2666-3899(20)30110-0 Their two models seem to ignore/exclude *my* model which is that for many gun owners, there is a constant pressure toward acquiring more (or at least new) weapons and the mass shootings trigger some level of "permission" to expand or upgrade a personal arsenal. The counter pressure could be familial/spousal or superego which needs to be negotiated with to allow more resource to go into satisfying that background pressure to acquire. The same thing applies to my relatives who are knitters and quilters who use most any excuse for buying more fabric/yarn. - Steve - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
