Gun violence...uh?
Guns can’t be violent, people are violent.
Blacks kill blacks at twice the rate of whites...
If most guns are black how can they be racist?
Must be lots of racists out there shooting all those aspiring rap artists!

Yeah well, who is on both sides of the gun?
They forgot the part where blacks kill each other with guns all the time.
Black men are 6% of the population and commit 50% of murders.

I knew that they would got to this, I just did not know when.
After Sandy Hook, President Obama introduced an initiative to reduce gun violence. He laid out a litany of tragedies: the children of Newtown, the moviegoers of Aurora, Colo. But he did not mention gun violence among black men.
Why would Obama completely ignore the demographic that represents a full 50% of all gun-related deaths?
“California was singled out in the study for having “the most marked reduction” in the rate of gun deaths. The researchers said this could be the result of tough antigun laws, including eight aimed at preventing gun trafficking.”
Wow, what a stretch.
The black population has been forced out of California by the increasing numbers of violent Central American illegals. South Central, Inglewood, and other notorious black strongholds from the early days of gangsta rap are now exclusively Hispanic.
Blacks kill other blacks at higher rates than any other group. Decrease the number of blacks in a region and the murder rate declines.
Does the study mention the color of the fingers on the triggers?
Gun violence? Who is shooting those guns?
Other blacks?
So they need to take away whites guns?
I think I read somewhere that if you removed the crime stats from only a few cities like Chicago, Oakland, Baltimore, etc. that the US would be considered one of the safest places on the planet.
IIRC, a black person is about 9 times more likely to be shot by another *black* person than by a white person.
Conveniently, that very minor statistic seems to fall between the cracks.
Also, if memory serves, a *white* person is slightly more likely to be shot by a black person than a white person.
Does this LA Slimes article indicate the reason why more blacks are killed?
Because Blacks are killing other blacks?
I didn’t think so.
But hey - if it makes the libtards happy - I’m OK with banning blacks from owning guns.
If the black community wishes to address this by outlawing black ownership of guns, I suppose I would consider that with an open mind.
As very few blacks are shot by whites, there really is no need for the majority population to be denied our gun rights. We are not the cause of the 2X higher black gunshot rates, other blacks are.
Blacks seem to have a hard time handling access to firearms. Maybe it’s racist to have one set of laws for everyone when clearly some groups have special issues. (/sarcasm)
Most of these black people killed are poor. Washington DC is the most affluent and white part of the country. This fight between black and white, poor and rich should be taken up in the Senate.
We must do all we can to keep guns away from blacks.
“... 11 years’ worth of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
And.......just what kind of DISEASE is a gun?
Is up-down and down-up?
Last time I checked I had about 12 guns but could not find a disease of any kind.
Why is that? Education or lack of? Family problems? Personal problems? Financial problems? Job problems? Or are there matters more basic?
