[Tenacious 1]

I don’t recommend FReepers wasting too much time on this. But that this study was even considered, funded, executed, peer-reviewed and published is the issue.

Basically, a Brit and an Austrailian (both liberals for sure) set out to study racism in American white gun owners. They were asked a bunch of questions about black people. Then asked if they owned guns.

Guess what they concluded. Whites that are racist are also gun owners and 2A advocates. But wait, they also seem to say the reverse based on their results.... Gun owners in America are racists.

I would say the “study” is a tiny weeny bit flawed on its face. Worse, I’d like to see the questions they asked. I’d also like them to publish who funded this and who the “peer reviewers” were.

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).
