[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Financial services and institutions should simply make the names of anyone who purchased a gun or gun related item available for all to see on a public database. Let their neighbors and everyone else know they bought a gun. Then people can make use of red flag laws to petition courts to have those guns confiscated. We have the resources in place. People just need to make use of them. [/quote]

I want to know who has a gun so I can avoid them.  I am raising a brown kid who is a total baby but could look threatening I guess because of his size.  I don’t want him having any sort of misunderstandings with a frightened gun owner who might choose to “defend himself”.  In my opinion, gun owners are generally frightened of their own shadows and are actually the people I would not want having a gun. Given that we can’t seem to make any progress on not arming every American, maybe we should focus on protecting ourselves from the gun nuts instead. [/quote]

“Brown kids” have a much bigger chance of getting killed by a peer than by some right wing gun owning boogeyman. Of course, you knew this.[/quote]

[b]Not my brown kid being raised in the suburbs.  He is more at risk from a nut.  Right wing or otherwise.  [/b]

He is susceptible to all the ills of a suburban lifestyle - like drugs, pressure that leads to depression etc.  But he is really not at significant risk for getting killed by a peer.  [/quote]

Simply false. Hispanic/Black homicides in suburbs is lower than urban environments but still significantly higher than White and Asian. Crime statistics also indicate that the victims are overwhelmingly of the same race as the attacker. [/quote]

Share the data for brown kids.  Btw, Indian kids might be classified as “Asian” but could present as brown. [/quote]
