Black Homicide Victimization in the United States
No sense in trying to understand and correct the underlying causes of the problem. Nope, just disarm black people, that will fix everything.
Remember, gun control is not about crime, it's not about guns, it IS about controlling people's lives.
Blacks in the United States are disproportionately affected by homicide. For the year 2007, blacks represented 13 percent of the nation’s population, yet accounted for 49 percent of all homicide victims.
As noted at the beginning of this study, the devastation homicide inflicts on black teens and adults is a national crisis, yet it is all too often ignored outside of affected communities.
For blacks, like all victims of homicide, guns — usually handguns — are far and away the number one murder tool. Successful efforts to reduce America’s black homicide toll must put a focus on reducing access to firearms.
