The paper makes few mentions of the April 2020 massacre in which a 51\u002Dyear\u002Dold man driving a replica police car murdered 22 people

“Our research suggests that mass shootings are a gendered issue: they fundamentally have to do with the relationship between men, masculinity, and guns,” read theMass Shootings and Masculinity, drafted by two University of California sociologists, told the commissioners that mass shootings are inherently “enactments of masculinity,” and that in addition to curbing gun ownership, governments must pursue “cultural change.

Notably, the massacre’s perpetrator had a lengthy history of violence against his common-law partner, Lisa Banfield. His April 2020 killing spree began after an argument in which he shot at Banfield and attempted to lock her in one of his replica police cars .Questioning his decisions, RCMP supervisor during N.S. mass shooting took 16-month leave afterward

The 44-page report writes that U.S. mass shootings do not always correlate to state-level rates of gun ownership . So, researchers also cite a raft of sociological papers linking gun violence with race, right-wing politics and even “masculine overcompensation.”
