Study Finds Racism Strongly Linked With Gun Ownership For White Americans
Self-destructive psychology via a press release from the University of Manchester:
A new study has found that higher levels of racism in white Americans is strongly associated with having a gun in the home and greater opposition to gun control policies.
After accounting for numerous factors such as income, education and political ideology, researchers found that for each one point increase (on a scale from one to five) in symbolic racism there was a 50 percent increase in the odds of having a gun in the home and a 28 percent increase in support for policies allowing people to carry concealed guns.
Research suggest[s] that having a gun in the home is related to a 2.7 and 4.8 fold increase in the risk of a member of that home dying from homicide or suicide, respectively.
The research was led by Dr Kerry O’Brien from The University of Manchester and Monash University. Dr. O’Brien said: “US whites oppose gun control to a far greater extent than do blacks, but whites are actually more likely to kill themselves with their guns than be killed by someone else. Why would you keep them? So we decided to examine what social and psychological factors predict gun ownership.”

MOST americans don’t care about blacks,on the other hand,THEY do care about RUSSIANS and CHINESE military being in america,knowing their not here to give us a birthday present or anything nice,we don’t intend to stand by empty handed as they kill everyone in the country,but you morons can if you want to,cause we’re not going to lose our life to SAVE SLIME…………..
This is totally ridicules,
If you r home is broken into., or you are at an ATM , or whatever and someone comes to rob you rape you or just beat you for no other reason then an initiation into a gang….I really don’t think anyone cares what color they are…how they dress or what political agenda they may have.
If you live on this planet and can think then you are HUMAN , human on human crime has been around forever…what keeps it going?
Ignorance, political figures, other countries, and just plain greed, Americans keep guns because we can.
Anyone wanting to curtail gun ownership should move to a more oppressive country where guns are not legal so they can see what it would be like to live under tyranny, America has become very tyrannical but can not go full oppressive because citizens have guns…other countries do not invade America because we have so many guns….is that racist ?
