A current event rather than a gun only topic because of the social impacts.
If it is mostly white men that own guns, then can anyone explain why so many blacks use guns to kill people?
I am not saying whites do not use guns to kill people, they do but according to gun ownership, do as many white kill people with guns as blacks? If they do, what does that say since there are according to census data, more whites than blacks in the USA? Percentage wise then, more blacks use guns to kill others than whites.
This is not a racial issue either other than the one presented in the article but beyond that, the idea that whites are more dangerous than other races because they won more of the guns is patently false.
The linked article does not discuss crime rates or shooting rates, but simply differences in opinions between gun owners and non-gun owners.
As for a difference in crime rates, it continues to amaze me that some people think that there exists anything (beliefs, attitudes, crime rates, etc.) that should of necessity be proportionately distributed among any given population.

More white men commit suicide by gun than all the murders in America combined. Why is that?

A variety of reasons including societal pressures. But at the end of the day a suicide is an act of violence agaisnt oneself. Public policy and restricting rights to prevent it is preposterous.

I agree. It is the most pro choice decision one can make.

It is still death by firearm and a certain segment of population is overwhelming responsible. Also you don't have a outside group constantly making it a topic of discussion on social media. Maybe there should me more discussions on the issue.

Oh now it's a noble gesture ... a thing of honor.
