Of the black population that commits 52 percent of the murders, 4 percent are black males between 15 and 60 years of age. So 4 percent of the population commits probably 45+ percent of the homicides in the USA, year after year.

And Many are convicted felons who cant legally have a gun in the first place.

Despite the headline of the article, The Washington Post goes out of their way to avoid revealing the central issue on guns and race. Orwellian is the operative word here.

Young black men killing other young black men is the root of the issue. Guns are simply the tool of choice.

But the liberal mind blames an unthinking, inanimate object rather than the person committing the murder.

Actually, from the numbers that I’ve seen in the past you can narrow it down to about 2% of the population committing 45% or so of the homicides in the US.
