Psychology group claims racism linked to reduced support for the Second Amendment
Fox News
The American Psychological Association released a study claiming that anti-Black sentiments associated gun rights with White people and gun control with Black people.
The study consisted of just 88 White Americans, 38 women and 50 men, 30% of whom were gun owners and an even split between Republicans and Democrats. In addition to the photo matching test, two questions were asked to participants to gage "racial resentment"; "Irish, Italians, Jewish, and many other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Black people should do the same without any special favors," and "It’s really a matter of some people not trying hard enough; if Black people would try harder they could be just as well off as White people".
