7 shot in New Orleans

[Star]

States with high concentrations of minorities have high incidents of gun violence. This is about to get leagues worse. Gun control won't stop the killing. Nothing will stop the killing. Most of the time it's criminals killing one another. There's no reason to stop it.

Your thesis, "States with high concentrations of minorities have high incidents of gun violence." needs lots-o-work - check it out, Alaska, Wyoming, and Montana don't have large black populations and-----and the empirical evidence shows you're also wrong about gun laws "Each of these states has extremely lax gun violence prevention laws as well as a higher rate of gun ownership,”. Do you want a do over?

Illinois Ranks Low In List Comparing Gun Laws, Gun Ownership And Gun Deaths By State

June 25, 2014 11:30 AM

According to their [Violence Policy Center (VPC)] findings, which used gun death rates from 2011, states with with weaker gun laws and higher gun ownership have a higher rate of gun deaths than states with lower rates of gun ownership and stricter laws.

“The five states with the highest per capita gun death rates in 2011 were Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaska, Wyoming, and Montana. Each of these states has extremely lax gun violence prevention laws as well as a higher rate of gun ownership,” stated VPC’s press release. “The state with the lowest gun death rate in the nation was Rhode Island, followed by Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. Each of these states has strong gun violence prevention laws and has a lower rate of gun ownership.”

Where does Illinois rank? Not in the top 5, obviously. Illinois doesn’t even make the top ten. According to VPC’s chart, Illinois ranked at spot 37, meaning 36 other states have worse gun death rates than Illinois. With a rate of 8.66 gun deaths per 100,000 citizens, Illinois comes in below the national average, which was 10.38 in 2011.

In 2011, Chicago’s homicide rate (including homicides that did not include guns) was about 16. If you were to include the entire Chicago metropolitan area (including nearby suburbs), which the FBI does in their statistics, that number would be significantly lower (in the FBI’s 2012 crime reports, the Chicago metro area’s homicide rate was 7.1).
Of course, correlation does not imply causation, and this study (provided by an organization that actively takes a political stance when it comes to gun control) does not entirely represent gun violence in America.

Still, those are some mighty convincing numbers.

The New Orleans metropolitan area is 70% black. They are not a minority. So, if you want to be racist about it, just go ahead and post that blacks commit most violent crime. It is so much more honest on your part.

On Bourbon

1. There are few blacks in this part of town
2. There are many drunks
3. Few are from New Orleans

I wonder what the magic threshold number of dead people is necessary for a shooting to be newsworthy to conservatives?
All I know for sure is that it's obviously more than 26.

I wonder why CNN has not done what they usually do. Report how an evil black rifle was used even if there was a slingshot involved.

21 people were shot over the weekend here in liberal Utopia NYC.

According to TV news, "he" shot one person and then opened fire on a crowd.

That's all I heard.

(((((YAWN)))))

In other new, a hurricane may be forming off Florida

New Orleans has been a violent city for a long time. Can't say I'm surprised.

Katrina actually took out some of the trash.

More like flushed out.

That's why Bush had better things to do post Katrina. The more news reports he received, the more he had to do....

So a nut shoots people , you want everyone else who owns a gun to give up ours.

That's the underlying message, isn't it?

Gun-Grabbers like to delude themselves that the rest of us can't see through their opening gambits.

They also delude themselves that they can grab the guns.

Come to think of it, they delude themselves about a LOT of things.

Including the power of the Second Amendment.

And the determination and willpower of the rest of us to uphold it, as it is presently interpreted and operative.

A white man goes on a shooting rampage...Teapers excuse it because of gang violence in inner cities...10 injured, 1 killed - no big deal.

More than likely a crazy teaper...mad at blackie because there is a leak in the roof of his trailer. Of course, Teapers won't allow any real discussion and if indeed this nutcase was a teaper, the mods wouldn't allow any discussion.

NOLA is a DUMP, just like Detroit or Chicago or NYC or Atlanta or Philly or St. Louis or Miami or any other city controlled by liberals.

Hate to break this to you but cities aren't run by "liberals" or "conservatives". Political spectra don't operate at that level. You can't take a "left" or "right" approach to deciding what day the trash is picked up.

I know this puts a dent in your partisan hackery plans but that's the way it is.

All true. Nobody who lives in New Orleans goes to Bourbon Street, unless they're working in some business soaking the tourists. Residents know where the hip spots are, and it ain't Bourbon Street.

Don't try being clever, three or four days after the post has been made, eh?

This is another case of perception, with me building on the perception of a colleague.

It's all about perception, and the bigger picture, once you get beyond the picayune details of the incident du jour.

If you don't want to discuss the bigger picture in the context of the incident, then don't participate in such a related sidebar.

Wow... if this was directed at a group of Black Folk, or any other minority, ya'll would be on that like white on rice... hmmmmm... a little Reverse-Racism in action there? Ya'll must really hate White Folk. Pity. Also kinda funny.

LOL, and vice versa? If a black guy hits a white person it is the end of the world and all blacks are evil... We have already seen on this forum how a simple fight is the black man being racist. Pathetic...but the hypocrisy is hilarious. Hate does blind people. Are you blind?

Nope. I'm not blind. Somewhere in the vicinity of half the people I know and care about are 'minority' folk.

You forget -- the second personal pronoun may refer to singular or plural.

The fact remains:

7 shot in New Orleans

--- contains nothing about "gun grabbing", "giving up" anything, or the Second Amendment. Or any other Amendment. Nothing about laws, bills, restrictions or the like. Not even a word about what "should" be done about it. No value judgment at all. Zero.

Ergo:

I expect that kind of crap --- from Lovebears.
