Essay
Gun control is mentioned several times in this chapter because it is contentious topic that elicits strong attitudes. The shootings in Aurora, Colorado, and Newtown, Connecticut have captured attention, bringing gun control to the center of the political stage. Research on strong attitudes suggests that these tragic, complex events may have been selectively perceived by partisans of different stripes, and perhaps lead to increased polarization of attitudes. Do you agree with this perspective? Why or why not? Provide examples from media coverage to support your response.
