Yes, that's true. With good reason I might add.

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.

Baltimore, PROPER, Population 651,154
Baltimore, greater metropolitan area, Population 5.1 Million

Those are very interesting maps. It’s blacks killing blacks.
You know the saying about packing a pistol, permit or not, “better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6”.

I'm not sure how you think a map of Blacks murdering other Blacks in Baltimore proves anything about why "May Issue" is an acceptable (certainly anti-Constitutional) restriction on guns. Maryland is a "May Issue" state. I don't know the specifics -- so I may be on thin ice since I have no hard numbers -- but I doubt many of the murders committed in Maryland are committed by people who would be even be eligible under "May Issue," so again, the point of "gun-control" is to disarm those who aren't committing these crimes.

I shouldn't speak for the author, but I think that is the ultimate point of this post.
