Depicting gun use in television and films is negatively influencing people, fueling gun violence in real life, says a new report from USC Annenberg’s Norman Lear Center.
The study emphasizes how gun usage on screen often lacks crucial safety practices.
The research, titled Trigger Warning: Gun Guidelines for the Media, is based on more than 20 years of gun statistics. It emphasizes that firearms are the primary cause of death among children and teenagers in the country.
The Norman Lear Center has provided consultations on various television projects such as Grey’s Anatomy, This is Us and Euphoria.
