Interesting read. So it would appear that we should allow ARs but have tighter control on handguns, and ban women with boyfriends to have knives. Problems solved.

Interesting read


it sure as shite is

some mind blowing stats in there and some stats that challenge your attitudes and beliefs...but it's the same old story

the percentages of homicides with no relationship between the victim and offender was higher than I anticipated...stranger danger is a bigger concern than I thought

Good god those numbers are mind blowing. There is a serious problem with young black males. This is literally where all the focus needs to be to fix a lot of the countries problems. There is a huge gap that is being missed in those high school years. Where are the parents and what about the schools (I don't put too much responsibility on them, has to be on the parents).

Based on available data from 1980 to 2008—
? Blacks were disproportionately represented as both homicide
victims and off enders. Th e victimization rate for blacks (27.8
per 100,000) was 6 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per
100,000). Th e off ending rate for blacks (34.4 per 100,000) was almost
8 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000) (table 1).

Your statistics are clearly racist.

Those numbers have been cited over and over. I found the race section to be the least interesting

also of note are the justifiable shootings

white cops shoot someone, 2/3 of the time they're white

black cops shoot someone, 2/3 of the time they're black

same for justifiable shootings for citizens

overwhelmingly murder is intra racial


so we're either incredibly not racist, OR we're racist because we don't include other races when we decide to start killing people

That's for the entirety of the time period

Victimization and offending rate is around 17 or 19 now. For whites it's down to 3

crime is down, for African Americans it's down by half over 30 years but there's still a lot of work to be done as there's no reason it should be almost 7 times higher

The 90s = my late teens and the majority of my 20s...I guess I should feel lucky to have survived.
