Press release from the college in Australia that did the study about this:

That's fascinating. I don't see anything that provides the actual survey questions, but the link you provided says that the study was based in "symbolic racism" rather than "overt/blatant racism."

It defines "symbolic racism" thus: Symbolic racism is also related to stronger opposition to policies that may benefit black Americans, such as welfare, and greater support for policies that seem to disadvantage black Americans, such as longer prison sentences.

So basically, if a person opposes welfare and supports longer prison terms, for the purposes of this "study" they're considered racist.

Which, to me, means that this "study" was an answer (gun owners are racist) looking for supporting data.
