The essay points out that of the 7 highest-fatality shooting incidents this year, only 1 was committed by a white person.

Couldn't it be argued that gun control is racist because it deprives non-whites of a favorite activity-- killing whites or killing people of their own race?

Are Spaniards White or Hispanic?
What about Portuguese?
I can’t even begin to wonder about Brazilians.

And just to confuse the matter more completely, in Texas, Latinos or hispanics are considered to be white, if that is what they claim, according to DPS.

Couldn’t it be argued that gun control is racist because non-whites are disproportionately poor and gun control deprives poor people of a means of self defense?

The author writes: "whites are 73% of the U.S. population"

Actually, non-Hispanic whites are 60% of the USA population.

White European-Americans are 58%-59% of the USA population.

The Census Bureau and the FBI count most North African and Middle East immigrants as white.

The Arab-American murderer in Boulder will be officially counted as a "white" murderer.

There is a lot of confusion about the term "Mass Shooting."

FBI crime statistics have a very precise definition...

(1) A crime with at least four gunshot murdered persons, usually in a public setting.

(2) The crime is NOT gang or family related.

(3) The motive of the crime was NOT robbery.

(4) The victims, or most of the victims, are complete strangers to the shooter.

When it comes to mass shootings, there is a rating system to determine how it should be reported.

In a lot of compilations of “mass shootings”, gang violence is specifically excluded.

If you include instances where gang members spray a crowd, then mass shootings are predominantly committed by minorities.
