Firearms policy has periodically dominated Canadian politics since
the late 1960s. Compared to the United States, however, there is
little scholarship on firearms policy to the neighbouring north.
Using Canadian firearms policy, Aiming to Explain examines five
prominent policy process theories employed during the period from
the 1989 Montreal Massacre to the 2012 cancellation of the
universal firearms registry. Throughout, B. Timothy Heinmiller and
Matthew A. Hennigar present rigorous applications of rational
choice institutionalism, social constructivism, the advocacy
coalition framework, the multiple streams framework, and punctuated
equilibrium. The investigations draw on method-based best
practices, while also making use of a wide range of data collection
and analysis techniques, including inferential statistics,
descriptive statistics, process tracing, congruence analysis, and
qualitative content analysis. The goal of Aiming to Explain is not
to select a single best theory, but to compare their relative
strengths and weaknesses in an effort to direct future research and
theoretical development efforts in the study of Canadian public
policy.
