This information is politically incorrect, though, so we must go on believing that the availability of guns is the problem and therefore restricting or taking away guns from every group as though they had an equal likelihood of using guns while in the commission of a crime, is the only solution:


Firearm violence rates for blacks age 12 or older (8.4 per 1,000 blacks) were 40% higher than rates for Hispanics (6.0)

200% higher than rates for whites (2.8 per 1,000).

* Blacks were about 9 times more likely than whites to be murdered with a firearm.

* On average black victims of firearm violence were 3 years younger than white victims -- 29 versus 32.

* From 1993 through 2001 blacks accounted for 46% of homicide victims and 54% of victims of firearm homicide but 12% of the U.S. population
