It should be pointed out to this columnist that the problem is not the availability of guns, but the willingness of slave descended (SD) black Americans to exterminate themselves and each other.
In this case, since 95% of black homicides are by other black people, the BIG question that should be asked is what is motivating black people to kill other black people? With the idea that whatever it is needs to stop. A black problem, not caused by racism, not caused by “The Man”, but caused by black people who *want* to kill other black people.
Oddly enough, there is an answer to the question of WHAT is causing black people to kill each other. It is the same answer as to why black women are aborting their babies at a very high rate, and why a quarter of black men are arrested and imprisoned for committing felonies.
It all goes back to one thing: Having sex and children out of wedlock. It’s really that simple.
When black women want sex without marriage, the smarter ones get long term birth control, which makes them effectively sterile during the best years for having and rearing children, in a rather small window of time from the ages of 15 to for practical reasons, about 35. 20 years for reproduction, that once lost, are gone.
Those black women who do not do this and get pregnant, get abortions at a very high rate, about 38,000 a year just in NYC alone. 38,000 fewer black children in just that city is going to have a major impact sooner rather than later.
Then of those black women who have their children, 70% of their babies are born out of wedlock. Illegitimate.
When a child is raised by a couple, their motivation is for personal success and prosperity. But when a child is raised by a single parent, their motivation is not success, but *survival*. This explains why children raised by single mothers are 60% more likely to become criminal offenders.
Being brainwashed into thinking that blacks are oppressed and victimized is just icing on the cake. It gives blacks an excuse to assume they will never amount to anything, so they might as well live lives of hedonism. Why get married? Why not abuse drugs and alcohol? Why not commit crimes? Instead of living good lives, why not embrace aggression and anti-social behavior?
After all, none of the bad things that happen to blacks are their own fault. This is what they are told and believe. And many build up a sense of deep resentment, hate and racism against non-blacks.
And yet the vast majority of their problems are caused by just this one thing. If they again become moral, many of their problems will just evaporate.
Look at the history of inner-city gun violence in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Italian-American ghettos; my Italian forebears were attacked for being ethnically predisposed to violent crime, and in the early days it was mostly Italians against Italians, not Italians against others.
Today, look at the rising problem of Hispanic gun violence.
Wickedness and lawlessness know no color.
