本章概述了第二个案例研究——弗吉尼亚理工大学校园枪击案之后的新闻和政策辩论。概述了在新闻媒体和政治辩论中对精神卫生限制的重点。然后展示了这一框架如何为国家背景调查系统提供更多资金，并填补了弗吉尼亚州法律的漏洞，该漏洞允许犯罪者合法购买他的武器。新闻媒体和GVP活动家提出的关于关闭“枪支展览漏洞”的建议未能在政府中启动的原因是推测的。之后讨论的是“隐蔽携带校园”运动，大学生可以隐蔽携带枪支，记录了我的受访者对这类提议的担忧。
This chapter gives an overview of the news and policy debates following the second case study, the Virginia Tech school shooting. The focus on mental health restrictions within news media and political debates is outlined. It is then shown how this frame resulted in greater funding for the national background check system and closed a loophole in Virginia law that had allowed the perpetrator to legally purchase his weapons. The reasons why proposals around closing the ‘gun show loophole’ advanced in the news media and GVP activists failed to launch in government are surmised. Discussed thereafter is the ‘concealed carry on campus’ movement for students at colleges and universities to carry concealed firearms, documenting the concerns about such proposals expressed by my interviewees.
