No I was born rich and made myself even richer. started with about 10 million, now worth about 50 million. that is how I could afford to take my honors Ivy league law degree and work for the feds which was far more interesting than working for one of the 6 wall street firms that gave me offers
Oh, is that your story now? You have more careers than Barbie. Were you an astronaut, too?
but lets get back to your anti gun idiocy. blacks commit more than half the murders in the USA
No, they really don't. Again, go back to the link I posted. they are committing more than their proportion of the population do, but not "half".
Whites committed 2755 murders.
Blacks committed 2767 murders
Other races committed 270 murders.
Your Original claim was "our rates of gun violence aren't any higher than rates of whites in those Eurosocialist states with nanny government gun control that a bedwetter like you craves?"
Except that isn't true.
The United Kingdom had only 48 gun homicides.
Germany only had 258 gun homicides.
These countries have nowhere near the homicide rates we do.
does anyone truly believe JoeB's rants are motivated by a public safety issue? COME ON FOLKS, he has already admitted he hates gun owners based on how he believes gun owners voted
Is that going to be your whine every time you get caught spewing gun nut lies? Because I'll take that as a concession.
So if you take away the guns, we have 5,000 homicides, Germany has 350 and Japan has 11. This proves, once and for all, that the US is a violent culture. And that is assuming that all 11,000 gun murders would not happen.
No, it proves that guns make it easier to kill. I'd happily reduce the murder rate by 2/3rds.
Does it mean we need to still fix the other problems? Yes. Yes we do.
Yes, it DOES prove we are a violent culture. And it is the violent culture that should be addressed, not the tools used. Your solution to violence is like solving the problem of a leaking roof by putting a bucket under it. Sure, it prevents water on the floor. But it does not address the actual issue.
As for the racial issue, comparing the number of murders without comparing the relative population size ruins your argument.
