To: Dan from Michigan
black children had the highest rate of handgun homicide victimization—seven times higher than that of white children.

The reason: children still have easy access to handguns because of the lax practices of an unregulated gun industry and the mistaken idea that a handgun in the home offers protection

I hate to be Politically Incorrect here, but it would appear with these two statements from the article that kids killing kids seems to be a black problem more than a gun problem.

Well, hypothetically it could be that white kids go over to black neighborhoods and blast away. But ... I doubt it. Why doesn't the study cite the racial breakdown of the perpetrators, instead of only the victims?
