What the numbers on guns really say

sarktastic

We as a country just sustained, as promised by the enemy who has declared war against the United States, a Jihad attack.

Gun control blabber is nothing but designed cover for the terrorists.

Regardless of your stance on the issue, pretty poor taste to wantonly dismiss thousands of gun deaths to fit an agenda.

it is pretty disgusting. Gang violence is a serious issue that no one actually cares about. And yes that includes Republicans and democrats, all of whom skate over the issue because they are scared to talk about race

I would say gang violence isn't as much race as it's socio economic. Gangs in bigger cities are populated by a poor economic segment, which the majority are minorities. Poor white people are in gangs as well. Basically, middle class black, hispanic, european, and asian kids aren't in gangs, just like middle class whites generally aren't either.

It is a poverty issue. And far more blacks live in poverty than whites, but that doesn't change the fact that they murder at a far greater rate

It is pretty poor taste to wantonly exaggerate thousands of gun deaths to fit an agenda.

The greatest generation grew up in poverty and the only people they shot were Germans and Japanese, not each other.

So fuck that argument about poverty.

The murder rate peaked in the early 90s because of the crack epidemic, which is inextricable from poverty. The murder rate last year was lower than in 1968 at about 14,250. Considering that America is much more diverse now then in the late 60s can you really try to claim that the murder rate is tied in any way to non-whites being more likely to kill?

The homicide rate per 100k in 1950 was 5.1, the rate in 2013 was 5.2.

But don't we have a meth epidemic going on now?
