Gun owners are racist, and here's this study we've made up to prove it.

So how is racism measured? Well, you are apparently “racist” if you don’t agree that the legacy of slavery still has a great impact on how blacks are faring today. After all, slavery was abolished 158 years ago.

Besides, blacks were doing relatively better on many dimensions, such as family stability, during the early 1960s than today.

Of course, people might disagree with these points, but that doesn’t mean that they are racist.

OK, so conservatives are more likely to own guns than liberals (big surprise there), and they are more likely to believe that people are more responsible for how well they do in life than something that happened to their ancestors over a century and a half ago.

Even more telling, when I examined this data set I found that non-whites and blacks who hold these supposedly “racist” views on slavery are also more likely to own guns.

So let’s get this straight. Blacks who don’t believe that slavery in the U.S. is important in explaining how well a black does in today’s society hates other blacks and is thus more likely to own a gun?

It doesn’t take long for an actual academic to destroy the work of politically-motivated polemicists. The simple fact of the matter is that more than 91-percent of blacks murdered with guns are killed by other blacks.

Either the ‘study” is laughably false, or Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Philadelphia are massive sanctuaries of self-hating black Klansmen.
