that showed 45,222 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2020 — a new peak.
Researchers at the Ohio State University created a randomized control trial in which 226 kids were randomly sorted into groups. At home, one group watched a one-minute gun safety video featuring the Ohio State University police chief, while the other watched a similar video on car safety. According to Brad Bushman — a professor of communication at the Ohio State University and one of the study’s authors — the film clips were intended to act as a “trigger” for the kids while also testing the researchers’ hypothesis that movies with guns could be a “risk factor” that makes kids more “aggressive” around firearms.
While the children weren’t told about the guns, 96% of the kids still found them within first 20 minutes of play. Through hidden cameras and sensors on the guns, the researchers in the next room monitored how the kids reacted. Based on surveys the kids filled out, children who had taken a gun safety course before, lived in homes with guns, or reported disliking firearms held the gun and pulled the trigger less.
