Gun Violence

A car turned down my coworkers street last week and rattled off 10-12 shots in front of his house at another car driving away.

Poverty and Competing for resources my ass

Nobody talks about gang violence? Without gang violence gun “control” wouldn’t even be an issue that gets discussed nationally.

I don’t expect rationale responses from people that would allow their children to be mutilated.

What exactly is the issue with considering per capita figures? Obviously I’m keenly aware that I’m safer in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas than I am in inner-city Chicago, but the figures underscore that there is more to the story than people in cities just being inherently more violent. Violence is happening everywhere, but when it’s so dramatically concentrated, it creates a worse environment.

Where I find your argument empty is when you ignore that millions of people being situated on top of each other is going to inherently lead to more violence. Not just from the concentration of people, but the issues that stem from that concentration.

It’s so interesting to watch the left always avoid talking about the real issues.

Poverty + proximity and competition for resources.

Guessing thethe is inferring that blacks have a culture of violence and the whole single parent family thing, which is hard to argue against. But I’d argue those are just as much symptoms of poverty, proximity and scarcity of resources as gun homicides.

Unfortunately with all difficult issues, we all want a silver bullet fix, and solving black poverty is nigh impossible, so around and around we go with debates about gun control, birth control, etc.

Its all about fatherless homes which then creates a culture of lack of discipline. Again, this is just on average and not for every single instance.

Single parent homes are not caused by poverty (especially since welfare systems in place are supportive enough to provide with a stable household assuming the parents are sticking together). Its caused by decaying culture within the community and the incentives that exist for parents to split.

The concentration is not causing the violence. The lack of stable households is the problem. The culture of victimhood within young black male youth is the problem.
 
70 bullets sprayed into a single moms house last week behind where we practice baseball

Scarcity of resources…my ass
