Good article, Bernard... I don't agree with some of the conclusions, but it did have a lot of stats. Thanks for the link

We do need to be fair and balanced.

black kills black therefor white must disarm. whose motivation?

"why, the easier to EAT you with!"

White have to disarm so blacks can kill someone other that themselves.

Sorry Cricket, I didn't read that into the article.

it's always there. all this 'measured' comparison and cite to statistics... like anyone should care. i dont need to 'read the right books' or have some 'special mind' break it all down for me. everything anyone wants to know is out there on the street, daily.

Wow..Out on the streets?...LOL....Fvckin paranoid bullshit

I agree. A thoughtful article and not one usually linked by a pro-gun rights poster. Worth reading. Thanks.

Just incase you suffer from illiteracy, 'others' means others, not blacks. While blacks are murdered by other blacks, they are also murdered by whites. So your remark is nothing but bigotry born out of ignorance.

 

[as seen on tv]

so - to sum up . . .

blacks are the "most shot" - and its usually black on black crime. and they overwhelmingly oppose gun controls.

whites are rarely shot - by blacks or whites - and they overwhelmingly favor gun control. unless they are "rural" and like to hunt geese or deer.

politicians are overwhelmingly white, urban, and uninformed?

It's the other way around about gun control. According to the link:

Blacks: favor 78% oppose 22%

Whites: favor 48% oppose 49%

Yes, it's that place outside your parents' basement. You'll see it someday...

Thank you, I couldn't believe it when I read his comment. Some people really have a problem absorbing information.
