Study claims to show corelation between owning guns and being racist

No offense to any Australian or British person, but what the hell do some obscure researchers in Australian and Britain know about why people own guns in America. They claim to have done a study showing the link between racism and gun ownership. In my opinion, this study is nothing but Marxist propaganda.

Racism and guns go together.

That’s the finding of an international study released Thursday that says the two are linked. More specifically, odds are greater that a racist white American also keeps a gun at home and opposes gun control regulations.

The conclusion wasn’t too surprising for researchers at Australia’s Monash University and Britain’s Manchester University, which sought to better understand American gun culture.

“There had already been research showing that … blacks are more likely to be shot, so we thought there must be something happening between the concept of being black and some whites wanting guns,” Monash researcher Kerry O’Brien said in an email to the Daily News.

He also found that political leanings and geography play a part into firearm ownership.

I can agree with findings that link ideology and gun ownership, but the claim that there is a racist motive behind gun ownership is pure BS. This study will now be used by Progressives to paint any opposition to gun controls racist. This is getting old and I am tired of this divisive bullcrap.
Gun ownership is a Civil Right for all Americans and it is Progressives who want to keep minorities unarmed. Gun Control was originally designed to prevent non WHites from owning guns. If anything Gun control is racist!
