GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Jimbone]

So, then, it's not a "metropolitan" problem, nor is it an Obama-caused problem, right?

If you could point me to where I said it was an Obama-caused problem, I'd appreciate it. I don't believe I've ever stated gun violence is an Obama-caused problem.

And yes, it is still a metropolitan area problem. Those majority of places on that list all straddle or are nearby major metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas have higher likelihood of socioeconomic problems affecting populations. And the majority of gun homicides occur in metropolitan areas.

And, your 90% black and Hispanic offender numbers are specific to Chicago only, right? How does that match up the the percentage of the general population there? Those percentages, of course, don't line up with with breakdown nationwide, not even in the same ballpark.

That's correct, those numbers were specifically for Chicago.

According to the US Census, the ethnicity of the Chicago population is as follows:

White: 31.7%
Black: 32.9%
Hispanic: 28.9%

90%+ is not reflective of the nationwide number. In 2010, blacks alone were 55% of gun homicides. Hispanics were 17%. White gun homicides were 25%.
