It's true, historically poor, disadvantage and historically discriminated against people are much more likely to be slaughtered by guns Firearms are the second leading cause of death for American children and teens and the first leading cause of death for Black children and teens.21 Nearly 1,700 children and teens die by gun homicide every year.22 For children under the age of 13, these gun homicides most frequently occur in the home and are often connected to domestic or family violence.23 Black children and teens are 14 times more likely than white children and teens of the same age to die by gun homicide.24 https://everytownresearch.org/gun-violence-america/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It's the inner city gangsta culture mostly endorsed by people of color who have little to no respect for human life. If it wasn't a gun it would be a knife. Until we start calling a spade a spade and recognizing that a gun doesn't pull its own trigger things will just continue on the same way. The very first step in solving a problem is knowing what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't think the legislation is so impossible Exactly, gun people just try and cloud the issues so that people who don't like guns gets confused and throw their hands up.
