Murders in NYC by ethnicity, 2003-2011 (Graphic)

[Dean Weingarten]

The graphic from the New York Times is very much in line with this article:

http://gunwatch.blogspot.com/2013/01/european-murder-rates-compared-to.html

The article shows that the difference in murder rates between developed European countries and the United States is accounted for by differences in the demographics of cultural groups. Gun laws or the rate of gun ownership does not correlate to murder rates.

This is a "dirty little secret" that has been known for some time. Just use WISQARS: for 1999-2010, the rate of homicide by firearms is 2.17 per 100,000 by whites, and 15.10 per 100,000 by blacks. Gun violence is a cultural phenomenon where race is a significant factor. But it is not polite to mention that.

Coincidence that those numbers also closely resemble the prison ratios?

This s the same in every city in the U.S. Look at Philly, Camden, Chicago, L.A., Atlanta, Detroit, etc.

Instead of disarming the criminals, the powers that be, and the media want to disarm the law abiding citizens that defend themselves from the criminals. Can't have them shooting the people that vote for these statists, now can we?

Not seeing this as gun related....
