I don't have any problem with them killing each other but let's not use it as an excuse for gun control.

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 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.

The Atlantic just ran a major article on the same phenomenon -- although the reporting failed to associate a rather obvious racial component with the phenomenon.

American Murder Mystery

The article's sub-head:

Why is crime rising in so many American cities? The answer implicates one of the most celebrated antipoverty programs of recent decades.

As, indeed, it does. The unspoken conclusion of the article is that a.) federal housing projects did much to create an unhealthy environment that spawned crime and poverty, then b.) Section 8 programs served to export the crime and poverty to the rest of the city.

One failure atop another, only making the situation worse.

But the intentions of these cherished liberal programs were good. Only their results were catastrophic -- for both the "beneficiaries" of the program and the innocent citizens who paid for them.

Alas, liberals will never learn from this lesson. Instead, they will demand more money to "fight poverty".

Really great graphics in post 15.

You and I have had more than a few run ins on the illegal hispanics.

I lived near Baltimore for many years, and now I hope you see why I am mostly concerned about the citizen blacks instead of the illegal hispanics.

Further, every city I’ve ever lived in had relative few problems with the illegal hispanics.

Also, keep in mind that Latinos are classified as white in such statistics. The number of European-American killings is probably lower
