During one week in March of this year, 13 homicides took place in Washington, D.C. On a per capita basis that was higher than most weeks in Baghdad. Chicago was not far behind, as they witnessed a crime spree that left 12 Chicago citizens shot dead in a six-day period in April.

Blame was quickly placed on gun owners with Chicago School Superintendent Arne Duncan leading the way, commenting the murders resulted from ...

It is politically incorrect to point out that this occurs in mostly black neighborhoods at levels approaching cities in Africa.

It’s politically incorrect to point out many facts.

it’s also politically incorrect to point out these were gang-bangers, drug dealers etc that were involved and it was mostly, if not all, black on black..

Yep it’s politically incorrect to mention many inconvenient truths. To listen to some people, you would swear that the violence is random, and that the guns perpetrate the violence. There is no recognition that drug gangs and other criminal elements are perpetrating most of this violence.

There’s no question that some areas are plagued by violence. And there are innocent victims of the criminals who live in these areas. It’s politically incorrect to talk about who causes it, and why they cause it.

Anyone who’s been to the sandbox will tell you there are 10 times more guns on the streets and in the hands of the population than there are in Chicago, or Detroit.

It’s not the presence of the guns, but who owns them.

Yeah. But don’t worry. If elected Obama will tweak the economy and black out-of-wedlock births will decline. Yeah, right! And these young punks will no longer call their mothers and sisters bitches and hoes. Wanna bet?

Both Chicago and Washington D.C. have the most draconian gun laws in the country (handguns are pretty much illegal in both cities). Yet, every year both cities are at or near the top of the list for murders per capita. Makes sense: Disarmed citizens are nothing but sheep waiting to be fleeced and butchered. I wonder if they are halal?

Bookmark these maps because they show where the majority of violent homicides in the US are originating from.

_______________________________________________________________

These maps are from the article titled "Anti-gun Promo Blackfires"

I think perhaps it should have been entitled, "The African Americans are slaughtering each other in our US Cities"

Baltimore, PROPER, which is reflected on the map has 64.34% Black or African American, 31.63% White.

_______________________________________________________________

This Baltimore Sun map shows a terrible problem, but does not clarify who the murderers are.

Baltimore Sun map of PEOPLE murdered, 2007:

_______________________________________________________________

Baltimore Sun map of BLACKS murdered, 2007: (264)

_______________________________________________________________

Baltimore Sun map of WHITES murdered, 2007: (12)

Of the 12, 6 were killed *downtown* probably while buying drugs. _______________________________________________________________

That's right a small percentage of people, generally gangs and drug dealers, in our large cities are causing the majority of the gun related homicides in the US. Do not allow this data to be covered up or hidden. Do not allow the gun control nutcases to take away your self defense weapons.

SOURCE: http://essentials.baltimoresun.com/micro_sun/homicides/
Baltimore, PROPER, Population 651,154
Baltimore, greater metropolitan area, Population 5.1 Million
