More on "GUN CONTROL" . . Possibly a little tongue in cheek here but all the stats are factual. In an IBD editorial this Morning, Walter Williams (a Black Conservative Writer) was writing about this subject and after reading his statistics I believe that I've come up with a way to cut Violent Crime in this country by at least 50%.
Ban Black People . . .
Uh Unh, before you go sideways, read further . .
Currently we are blaming "ASSAULT RIFLES!" for the carnage in our towns and cities. The "ASSAULT RIFLE!" is responsible for less than 2% of all the Homocide by Firearm crimes in the USA each year . . .
BUT . . . Let me quote Walter here;
Last year, Chicago had 512 homicides; Detroit had 411; Philadelphia had 331; and Baltimore had 215.
Those cities are joined by other dangerous cities—such as St. Louis, Memphis, Tenn., Flint, Mich., and Camden, N.J. — and they also lead the nation in shootings, assaults, rapes and robberies.
Both the populations of those cities and their crime victims are predominantly black. Each year, more than 7,000 blacks are murdered.
Close to 100% of the time, the murderer is another black person.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims.
Though blacks are 13% of the nation's population, they account for more than 50% of homicide victims.
Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites.
Sooooo . . Based upon the Democrat's argument about banning Assault rifles and High Cap Magazines, the better argument would be . .
Ban Black people . . . Y'think?
It's nowhere as silly as banning M-16 lookalikes . . .
