"The only way to stop young Black men from shooting each other and young white men from shooting up schools and stores and churches and everyplace else is to take away their guns. In fact, the only way to stop all gun crazy Americans from shooting people is to take away their guns."

@jaysonmassey 52% of mass shooters are white, 17 % are black. Likewise whites are 57.8% of the population and blacks are 12.1% of the population.
The narrative that whites are more often mass shooters is obviously patently false, and in fact if we really are going to break it down by race then the opposite is true, whites are **less** likely to be a mass shooter than other races.

@freemo Those people still got shot, no matter who did the shooting.
Check out wearorange.org for stats. For example...
@jaysonmassey Yup,. which still makes about 90%+ of the quote as wrong.
As for people shot by a gun, I have avoided that aspect only because you have gotten upset when I corrected facts on that matter before, but as I have stated many times, the number of people killed by guns is pointless if you dont contrast it with the number of lives saved by guns as well, otherwise you are just making the same sort of argument as anti-vaxxers.
@freemo Go ahead. Constrast it. It's YOUR ARGUMENT, you make it.
@jaysonmassey I am and have been trying to be polite and honor your wishes not to debate the gun issue directly, which is why I didnt address that part of the quote. If you actually want me to give you a detailed debate on it here I would be happy to.. either way is fine by me, Im trying to be respectful.
@jaysonmassey I did, and have, many many times both with you and on here.
