re: Interesting new research data on guns in America

Socioeconomic status has always been a far more reliable predictor of criminal proclivity than race.

On mobile so I can't verify this thought, but given that half of the gun deaths included in the statistics for gun violence come from suicides the socioeconomic status might not be as strong an indicator. Not sure what the proclivity for suicide is among different socioeconomic groups, but I imagine it accounts for a bigger % of deaths among wealthier groups than poorer groups.
