We really need to figure out a way to decrease the amount of guns in this country. Funeral directors shooting people at funerals

I already said the data isn’t inaccurate. I don’t however believe you posted it to show “who’s impacted by gun deaths most.” We all fukking know that. But go ahead and play your dumb game.

Your beliefs belong to you but facts have a higher precedence.

You realize there is a vast difference in population size, right? We are disproportionately doing it. Stop playing dumb.

There needs to be a greater emphasis on mental health evals on gun owners. It won't fix the problem but stem some issues. The problem are the people getting their guns illegally and using them though.


:dead:
This feels like the beginning of a joke: "So a drag queen, black Geralt of Rivia, a normal-looking woman, and two of the sassiest people on earth walk into a bar..."

Unless the gun was legal, what would a mental health evaluation do?

this shyt has nothing to do with hiphop, or social media clout, or somebody saying "nikka"or whatever retarded agenda you wanna put on it...this is a gun issue. too many guns in our society. This is an American issue.

First sign of an inconvenience and people run to go get a fukking gun.

What I take from that is the homicide rate in the Black community is waaaaaay too fukking high. Acknowledging what it is is not racist.
We got to confront these issues.

The death rate numbers from the CDC tell the same story. Look at the PERCENTAGES for Black men in the ages of 1-44 (those numbers for Black woman are high as well). Look at all other demographics.

No other group's homicide numbers look like that.
This is the latest I could find from 2018.

Everything you’ve posted here is why I find it unconscionable this country won’t do anything about the gun laws. So, sure, some of this may boil down to an element of criminality in our community. I can accept that. But there’s way more to this than “black people are more violent”, which is what Matt was suggesting by posting that chart.

Comment way too cozy for Harlem
In 1869, within Harlem's Hamilton Lodge, drag balls began. As the secret of the balls spread within the gay community, they became a safe place for gay men to congregate.

Research has shown things like purchase waiting periods and gun locks reduce suicide. Sometimes people just need to calm down. I'd imagine less guns...would result in less suicide.
Then look at it like this. If the government doesn’t care about white men killing themselves, then what makes you think they care about us murdering each other? Not only does it lower the black population, but they can invest in for-profit prisons.

White folks who want to commit suicide they will find a way. If they don't have a gun then they will OD on something.

Yep, South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and guns are basically banned over there.

If someone wants to kill themselves they don't need a gun to do it. Sure guns make it easier per, but gun control won't eliminate suicides or even mitigate it. You will also have to ban razor blades, belts, rope, high bridges, tall buildings, cliffs, etc.

You have to address why someone wants to kill themselves in the first place and find a solution to that, instead of hyper focus on what exactly they use to kill themselves with, because it's nothing more than a band-aid solution.
