Newest piece at Fox News: Are you a racist if you own a gun?

This is the way my newest piece at Fox News starts:

If you believe a new study, whites who own guns do so because they harbor racist feelings towards blacks. Indeed, in the study, four Australian and British psychologists also claim that racism is associated with opposition to gun control. 

The lead paragraph on this study in Friday's New York Daily News summed up the claim this way: "Racism and guns go together." 

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. . . .
