OSU professors find gun violence prevention groups are more moderate than portrayed
A group of Oregon State University researchers recently concluded gun violence prevention groups in the United States are middle-of-the-ground in ideology.
This surprised the professors as it contradicts some depictions of gun violence prevention groups as anti-gun, they said.
The researchers spent two years studying national and regional gun violence prevention groups and concluded they are motivated to reduce death and injury by firearms, but that they want to do so while reserving the right to own guns, said Aimee Huff, assistant business professor, and Michelle Barnhart, associate marketing professor.

We thought when we began to study the gun violence prevention groups that we were going to find they were anti-gun, Barnhart said. That they really had a mission to impose extreme restrictions on gun ownership and that they supported people not having guns and wanted to remove the right to have guns. Thats how theyre typically portrayed when pitted against gun rights groups.
