Black on Black crime is ten times higher than white on white crime and 90% of all black neighborhoods are crime ridden and no one wants to get in and everyone wants to get out but yet its because of this that we whites are told we need to get rid of our guns. Why is it that blacks commit most of the violent crimes in the nation and fill most of the prisons? Is it a black thing? Are blacks more aggressive and violent? Why can't male blacks seem to raise a child? The proof is in the stats. I am asking why?

You should be asking "which" Blacks? You say "Blacks" this and "Blacks" that. What you have mentioned does not apply to much of the Black population. Yes, much of the prison population is Black. Something else you should consider. Half of the people in prison are there for DRUG-RELATED crimes. Before the 1970s, the USA didn't have that many people in prison. The prison population jumped when the war on drugs started.
And consider the neighborhoods. Middle class Blacks often don't live in Black neighborhoods anymore. Alot of Black neighborhoods are populated by the poorest Blacks. The violent crime is mainly tied to gangs, drugs, and arguments, and mostly happens among the underclass. You don't see middle class Blacks doing this.
Why such ignorant sounding questions?

The OP
Why wouldn't people surrounded by gun violence think gun legislation would be a step in the right direction?as far as the racist rant about blacks being violent...I'm glad I got my .02 in before "closed"

Ignorance breeds fear.
They are purposely kept ignorant, by the progressive ideas, that have always been held, since the days of segregation and Jim Crow laws.
They believe it is the gun, not their lack of parenting skills in the hood. Kids raising kids, because statistics show, no one wants to adopt a black baby and religion is big in the black communities. They are caught in the cycle of poverty, with no way out. It is not the gun that is the problem. It is the lack of strict parenting.

I could understand the rationale, but at the same time, I have a different outlook on it. If I was in a very rough, and violent neighborhood, I would want to be able to protect myself. All that aside, I'm still very disturbed at the OP's hateful rant. Some of the questions just reek with hatred and resentment towards Blacks.
As for the racist rant, I think one reason the thread wasn't closed is because there was only one post, and it was the first post. It hasn't turned into a flame war.

Actually, the few Blacks that could vote were voting Republican for a long time. After the 1968 election, Blacks stopped voting for Republicans in any amount higher than 15%. Have you ever asked yourself about "The Southern Strategy"? What progressive ideas did Blacks have during the days of segregation and Jim Crow? Which ones?
Let me ask you this. Do you actually know how many Blacks believe "the gun" is the problem? Have you asked yourself "which segment" of the Black population is having these issues? Have you ever asked why adoption rates for Black children are so low?
Blacks are victimized by crime morning, noon and night. So it makes sense for the biggest victims of violent crime to only want guns in the hands of the police (whom they trust) versus their neighbors (who they don't trust).

What kind of FOOL thinks that laws that disarm the victim-pool criminals prey upon will make the members of that viictim-pool safer.
What kind of FOOL, I ask? Got any rational, or even sane, answers?
