In 2010 (latest data on wiki)
72% of US gun homicide victims were non-Hispanic whites
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_viole ... es#Victims

An amazing statistic, since in 2010 69.1% of Americans identified as non Hispanic-white.
https://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/bri ... 0br-05.pdf

So, this is mostly about black and Hispanic males killing each other over petty things, like drugs, gangs, criminal activity ... and it's mostly concentrated within the inner cities.

So, few people care.

Lintar, You ignore the core thesis on the cycle of violence, posit historic genocides as paranoid fantasy, and flip the victims into purpetrators. In addition, you cast aspersions on millions of people you have never associated with, and a foriegn military you do not understand.
Please do continue. Your previous post contained so many falacies I want to see if you have more.


"So many fallacies", and yet you don't point out even one. How on Earth do I "flip the victims into perpetrators"?! Mudboy, your response just doesn't make any sense.

Looks like they just disassembled (not destroyed) them ...for example ...

So that's how a gun is "destroyed"? Even I, as someone who doesn't own a gun, can see that this person has clearly NOT destroyed it. :lol:

I bet the blue spots are also the most densely populated.
I bet they're also the highest educated.
Ban republicans from shooting democrats because they're envious & feel disenfranchised.

Very true. After they passed gun control in Australia, the civilian population were no longer able to protect themselves and the government killed over 50 million Australians, including me.

If we want to prevent gang violence, we ought to recognize that it stems from poverty.

The phrase "I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me." exists for a reason. Some people are forced into that lifestyle.

If we want to prevent drug-related violence, we just need to legalize the drugs.
