According to the CDC, 25,423 murders by gunfire took place in the United States in 2006 through 2007 — the years of the most recent available statistics.
Among these deaths, the rate of firearm homicides was higher in inner cities than in other parts of cities and higher than the murder rate of the country as a whole, Dahlberg said. People living in 50 of the largest cities, in fact, accounted for 67% of all firearm homicides.
In addition, children and teens aged 10 to 19 in these areas — more than 85% of them male — accounted for 73% of all firearm homicides, Dahlberg noted.
The gun haters have been dealt some serious blows in recent years, from the Heller decision to the successful implementation of concealed carry laws in most states that have failed to produce the wild west scenarios that were breathlessly predicted.
But this report from a government agency no less, should put to rest the notion that gun violence is a nationwide problem that requires everyone to relinquish their constitutional and natural right to self defense.
In fact, this report points to just one more pathology created by the welfare state that has encouraged created matriarchal communities with millions of young men roaming the streets without any male direction in their lives other than the older gangstas who teach them ways of criminality and irresponsibility. And yes, this effects the black community most because their families and neighborhoods have endured a disproportionate share of the destruction from state funded "compassion" that creates generation after generation of dependent people trapped on the liberal plantation. It's a cruel and shameful waste of human potential.
