[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]African American gun ownership is important and defunding will likely hurt more than help this community. We need strong reforms to the police to ensure they are held accountable.[/quote]

Gun ownership is what is driving all this violence. Until I moved here, I had absolutely no idea how much power the nra has in the AA community. But clearly they’ve got a lot of members and supporters in DC based on the number of shootings. [/quote]
Hate-filled ragers are driving violence, not the weapons. Duh.[/quote]

Funny how societies like Canada which effectively ban handguns have almost no handgun violence!

How does that work, do you think?  Are Canadians just morally superior to Americans or do you think their gun laws are better?[/quote]

Canada most certainly does not “effectively ban handguns.”  There are restrictions (which criminals will never comply with), but non-criminals can buy a handgun if they want to.

As for “hate filled rangers,” the people who misuse firearms are, by and large, members of a criminal subculture whose values (if one can call them that) are wholly inconsistent with existence in a civilized society. One can debate the roots of their criminal sociopathy, but it is beyond cavil that they are sociopaths and many of them are untreatable except by protracted incarceration.
