SHOCKING: Gunshot Demographics

How “The Bad Part of Town” and failed social policies are used for sinister attacks on the right to keep and bear arms, and help justify the law enforcement world and its budgets.

While anti-rights activists speak emotionally about “gun violence”"gun deaths” “human tragedy” and saving lives, what they refuse to say is this—

Homicide in America has demographic, geographic, social and economic factors which, if acknowledged and openly discussed, would transform the debate, and place blame where it really belongs: on the causes and people that fuel the violence we hear about (but rarely actually see for ourselves, except on TV “news”). The real blame is hidden, because the truth is so painful. Crime is not spread across the streets of America. Crime, and crime using guns, happens in isolated areas for well known reasons the media and politicians hide from you.

But, it’s useful to blame guns instead of criminals, and blame guns instead of politicians and social policies, and blame guns instead of festering pesthole neighborhoods, in the effort to disarm the public and transfer power to the government and away from the people. A picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you, Baltimore Sun newspaper, for posting the interactive maps that define the problem clearly—at last (blue is choking, green is blunt force, red is shooting, black is stabbing, white is undetermined) :

Try the maps yourself, it’s fun, change the ages, sex, race, etc. and see what happens: tinyurl.com

The “gun problem” is not about guns. It’s about people, select groups of people. This isn’t a stereotype, it’s a fact.

It's only shocking to someone who hasn't seen it first hand for decades.
When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

You are either SOLVING the problem, or you ARE the problem.

IAW 2010 Census,the Baltimore population is 64% black and 30% white. So a 2 - 1 black to white homicide ratio could be expected. Hmmm, ain't happening. What could be instructive is a national map. Does the FBI have one?

Yeah, I have understood this for decades. For example, my city has approx. 750,000 populations but gun crime is a problem in only one section of town. There is hardly any gun crime in the rest of the city.

Same way in NH, All minorities comprise 3% of the States population but commit half of violent crime. and 80+% of large scale drug crime.
