I see a lot of overly simplistic and intellectual lazy anti-gun memes floating around as a way to score political points amidst this tragedy. As African-Americans, especially, we should approach this issue in a politically unbiased manner to pinpoint the major factors and causes with a thorough appraisal of them all given that this affects us the most.

Firstly, there's reports that give a much more in depth analysis of violent crime, such as in the US vs the UK, which is very restrictive on guns, that some tout as a gun free haven, actually has a higher violent crime rate than the US, believe it or not.

The homicide rate is higher in the US, but when you look at homicide stats broken down by different settlement environment types, you find that the bulk of our homicides come small pockets of large metropolitan areas.

Homicides tend to correlate much closer with income, education, resources, family structure, and development environment than with gun liberties. Thus why the bulk of our homicides come from small pockets of large metropolitan areas.

Of the firearm homicides, only %3.4 were caused by rifles(not just assault rifles).

Down with anti-intellectualism!



According to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, in 2016, only %3.4 of the firearm murders and %2.5 of the total murders were done with rifles(knives, blunt objects and hands/feet account for more murders). Assault rifles are but one subset of the rifle group.

Statistical facts vs political rhetoric.


Why are you using erroneous right wing/White supremacist/Trumpian propaganda to defend US gun policy? :patrice:

was just thinking a shooting might happen during a BP showing. :snoop:
Normally I wouldn't second guess going but shyt is real hectic right now. These alt-right muthafukkers are more emboldened than ever, and an event like this is just the place to set it off. I hate thinking like that but you never know.

I'll play devil's advocate.

It's a slippery slope to start profiling kids just because they are different from everyone else. I was different.
We had this white kid who was profiled. A lot of folks straight up stunned him. He was a devil worshiper. I didn't. I was okay with him. Probably one of the only one who wasn't a devil worshiper like him. Getting to know him was well interesting. I didn't quite trust him but I only trusted a few and those weren't even my friends who were untrustworthy as ever. I remember someone said he was going to shoot up the school as a rumor. It blew up and the news came to our school. He didn't say it and shyt but I know that due to his love for Marilyn Manson, he was going to be a target.

It's funny but I agree with you. You shouldn't judge them on this but yet, a crazy ass cac is a crazy ass cac. I knew plenty but thankfully, I grew up in the Bush years and not the Trump years. Cac fukkas was hacking, not joining the American Renaissance. shyt done change. These Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold ass nikkas is growing in numbers.

I see this part of my comment went completely over your head.

approach this issue in a politically unbiased manner to pinpoint the major factors and causes with a thorough appraisal of them all given that this affects us the most.

Because, that's exactly what you're doing by completely avoiding the logical points made and the statistical FACTS backing the, and tossing all of those cheap buzz words around. What the hell does my comment have to do with trump, the right wing, or white supremacist? This video was made even before trump hinted he would run for office

As for the bolded- Are you denying that the UK has a higher rate of violent crime than the US? Fine, lets up date the crime data for 2016

UK(England & Wales)

population- 58,381,300

violent crimes - 1,205,634

(1,205,634 / 58,381,300) * 100,000 = A violent crime rate of 2065.1 per 100,000 ppl
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa..._data/file/633048/crime-outcomes-hosb0917.pdf
Population estimates for UK, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - Office for National Statistics

United States

Population- 323,127,513

Violent Crimes- 1,248,185

(1,248,185/323,127,513) * 100,000 = A violent crime rate of 386.3 per 100,00 ppl
Table 1

Do these facts trigger you because you are a blindly loyal leftist or because you're from the UK?
