"Conservatism, anti-government sentiment, party identification, being from a southern state, and sporting a mullet were also associated with opposition to gun controls, but the association between racism and the gun-related outcomes remained after accounting for these factors and other participant characteristics (age, education, income, gender)."

Interesting findings from the research. (although, not surprising) Something important to note about ''symbolic racism'' is that for those who exhibit it, they don't classify themselves as racist, in a conventional sense, rather they justify their bigotry based on their social and political viewpoints, only. Sigh.

In other news 2+2=4 has now been proven scientifically!

So does these mean that deep down in the mind of the pro-gun nut, they just want to "shot 'em a nigger"?

Maybe the better question is...why are some people racist, while others are not?

Sometimes I listen to this guy's podcast called: Black Man with a gun. http://kennblanchard.com/ He's a hunter and a true American.

Black African discriminate whites and the discriminate the albino also. Usually majority discriminate against the minority. I am sure if would be assaulted , by a particular ethnic group, you would be cautious when similar ethnic person is present .
