Gun deaths shaped by race in America

Gun deaths are shaped by race in America. Whites are far more likely to shoot themselves, and African Americans are far more likely to be shot by someone else.

The statistical difference is dramatic, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A white person is five times as likely to commit suicide with a gun as to be shot with a gun; for each African American who uses a gun to commit suicide, five are killed by other people with guns.

See? Golden opportunity.

Golden opportunity for some enterprising, camera friendly black guy to get out there and argue that blacks, because they get shot by someone else, really, truly need more guns and that whites shouldn't be allowed to have guns. At all.

Think about it. How is MSNBC gonna report that one, huh? What's Jim Carey and Mike Moore gonna say then, huh?

In My Opinion
Is it still considered suicide for a white man to open a business in an area accessable to black youth?
This could explain those numbers a bit.

And how many tax dollars went to come up with this information?
