Actually, the only other multi-ethnic industrialized nation with a long uncontrollable border -- the Russian Federation -- has much more restrictive firearms laws and a significantly higher murder rate.

Dismayingly for all who subscribe to the tabuala rasa theory of humanity, at least in America, if one disaggregates murder rates by the ethnicity of the perpetrator, they mirror the murder rates found in the ancestral countries of the perpetrators.

Not by a mile. By "LIKE" a mile.

Which actually means that the U.S. homicide ranking per 100,000 is #111.

Before you can compare homicide rates, you have to know how homicides are being counted

If they are being counted using different methods, you cannot compare them. At least not before making adjustments first

I think we are not even in the top 200 countries as far as homicide rates. So another Lie by the Muslim to the dhimmis.

With his enthusiasm for disparate impact analysis (on display again in witHolder’s Ferguson “report”), would the Bamster favor limiting 2nd Amendment rights of blacks?

I would oppose such a move on principle, but he would be entirely consistent in doing so.

Of course, we all know it would put law abiding blacks at risk, but, hey, let him experiment on his own constituents.

"He never mentions the gangsta rap culture…"

Wouldn't matter if he did. Since it has become mainstream -with probably more consumption by young white males- it's easy to dismiss it it as a cause.

Blacks are 17.0% of Tennessee’s population.
Whites are 79.1%.

Even assuming that the SC created an invidual right to bear arms from empty air, what is the Left’s complaint?

It’s not like they don’t do it regularly.

Great you cite an article that is blaming the guns instead of the people. Someting has got to be done about it meaning we are going to lose our freedoms.

The gun industry thanks you for your continuing support, Mr. _resident!

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right
to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out
for them in the last two decades...

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

KEEP SAYING STUPID STUFF. WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE! ;-)

Those areas tend to have very restrictive gun laws.

“All of the statements make more sense if you realize that his only concern is black people.”

Blatantly false. He loves the Muslims as well.

I love how that graph shows that there are relatively few homicides in peaceful areas like Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait- you know, the places where they crucify people, cut people’s heads, feet, and hands off, stone people, administer hundreds of lashes, torture, and completely skip due process and just execute criminals in the streets, etc. I wonder if our homicide rate my decrease if our government cracked down on crime similarly?

The FBI needs to stop combining white and Hispanic crime statistics. It completely obscures reality which is clearly their intent. There is no such racial group as White Hispanic. There is Caucasian and Hispanic/Latino. Whose afraid to speak honestly about race in America?
