Abstract

Previous research suggests that more religious people tend to own more guns and are less supportive of some types of gun control. The current work explored these relation- ships and investigated the relationship between Christian religiosity and views toward us- ing guns for self-defense or to protect others. Consistent with previous research, more religious people tended to own more guns and were more in favor of citizens being able to own guns. However, more religious people were also less likely to think that it is morally acceptable to kill in self-defense or to protect others and thought they would be less likely to shoot the assailant in an active shooter scenario.
