White gun owners more likely to be racists: study

"................................Citing results that show attitudes among white people toward guns appear to be influenced by “illogical racial biases,” the study’s authors suggest that gun-control policies might need to be implemented “independent of public opinion.”

[DannyTN]

Translation: “We don’t have popular support for gun control, but the race card is working well right now, so let’s use it to do what we want regardless of the will of the people.”

[rarestia]

They don’t wonder, they know, and they’re needling the masses to make it happen. It would be a perfect crisis to not let go to waste.

[Venturer]

Blacks are shooting up each other every week and they are worried about whites who want to protect themselves.

Good synopsis. Thanks.

"Basically, a Brit and an Austrailian (both liberals for sure) set out to study racism in American white gun owners."

They should have published their yearly incomes and as to whether or not their neighborhoods are set up like Fort Apache with HOAs against the unwashed masses. ;-)

More seriously, most gun control proponents are using divide-and-conquer tactics (e.g., instigations of racial tensions). And most of them (and their middle class suckups) are lefties wealthy with cash flow. Not all rich folks are chickens against the Second Amendment, but quite a few notable ones have put a lot of money into such efforts (see CO and other efforts across state lines, see California).

“Racist” in this context just means “I don’t like you”.

Its a catch-all debating technique that leftists use for all occasions. Whatever the argument, they have a ready made retort all primed and ready to go.

Perfect...

Yep, go live in an inner city neighborhood for a year, then we’ll ask YOU the same questions on your “perceptions”.

"Blacks are shooting up each other every week and they are worried about whites who want to protect themselves."

The gangsters firing at each other don't care about politics or about what white people in the sticks are doing. Those of all races working against the Second Amendment are academics, politicians and more influential constituents (many of the more highly placed government employees, the more elite pensioners, all). They're perceived as "makers" (vs. "takers"), but they don't make anything useful. They might more honestly be called troublemakers. ;-)

[Farnsworth]

“load of crap” comes to mind......

Sure, everything is racist. I like white bread, I must be racist.
I had a white cat, must be racist.
I have a copy of the Constitution, must be a racist.

[junta]

Be honest with yourselves folks, you had to know the charges of being a “White supremacist” were going to be hurled against the 2A movement.

[G Larry]

Might be because minorities “CAN’T” be “racist”.....

[Beagle8U]

This study uses the same deduction of reasoning as...

Blacks by percentage commit more crimes and murders, therefor all blacks are criminal murderers.

[Venturer]

IMO, like Hitler and every other POS dictator, they want us disarmed, and incapable of causing them trouble.

[Condor51]

Yeah, yeah I own guns and I'm a racist. And what els..oops..sorry, gotta run now.

Time to give my lawn jockey Tyrone his daily bucket of gruel.

In the northern CA county where I spent most of my childhood, all of my teen age and most of my adult years, everyone carried a gun, either a handgun or a rifle or shotgun of some type. No one ever shot anyone, the murder rate in the county at that time(1950s and the 1960s when I became a grown man)was zero. Later, at drugs were introduced and the local Indian reservation became involved in selling drugs murder climbed a bit, and as time went on and we were gradually disarmed from carrying in public, except for special circumstances, murder climbed.

I remember kids bringing their rifles to school during deer season and hunting the hill behind the school with their dads when the school day ended. No one shot their classmates, no one committed suicide because they felt "bullied". All this BS occurred after the leftist took over. We need to do what is necessary to reinstate our constitution and our individual rights or we are doomed.

[PLD]

Oh wow, I am racist because I own guns..So be it..No matter what the fools call me they will never get my gun..at least I will be able to protect my family from the blacks communist Obama followers that are beatingto death women and children and shooting little babies in the face ..have you all noticed these savages have to run in packs afraid someone might turn around and fight back if it is one on one..Yeah I will always be racist according to the Obama followers..And believe this I will shoot if any one tries to harm me or my family..

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

I read this incorrectly.

I was wondering how many white guns were on the market. Maybe there are some for Artic hunting. I have never seen on at a NC gun show.

Then it dawned on me that they were talking about white people owning guns.

*Yawn*

[Steve_Seattle]

What percentage of gun crimes are perpetrated by whites arbitrarily gunning down minorities for racist reasons? Is it even one-hundredth of one-percent? I would say that most gun crimes are drug or gang related, crime-related (e.g., during a robbery), domestic violence (e.g., murder/suicide), alcohol-induced (fights at bars/nightclubs), and same-race drive-by shootings.

[DoodleDawg]

OK I’m white and I own three guns. Does that make me three times as racist as a white person who owns only one?
