Breakdown Of Gun Murders In U.S. African Americans & Whites Are Killed More Often By Different Types Of Weapons

 

The gun debate continues to rage on across America in the wake of mass shootings like the ones in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut.

 

The main focus is currently on assault rifles, but according to statistics gathered by Buzzfeed, Americans are far more likely to die by handguns.

 

89% of all gun murder victims in the U.S. are killed by handguns.

 

 

African Americans make up 57% of all gun murders, according to data from the 2010 FBI Uniform Crime Report.

 

60% of handgun murders are committed against blacks and 27% against whites.

 

 

Shotgun murders are the complete opposite according to statistics. 60% of shotgun murder victims are white and 30% black.

 

 

Rifles kill blacks and whites almost equally.

 

Are these statistics surprising to you? What do you think of them?

The Government dont want your weak guns, they only want the weapons that can penetrate body armor, basically ones that could be used in a Revolution

But we are still talking about taking away A.R.'s wtf its common sense that handguns are the problem not a weapon that cannot be easily concealed. This is why I dont trust the govt. they ignore the facts and push their agenda not the peoples agenda. gtfoh with an assualt rifle ban Chicago Youth and urban you throughout america still gonna be dying at a high rate. F*ck you Obama

we in "AMERICA" make no sense. Our government is out there killing children and women every single day supposedly fighting the war on terror. AND US idiots, instead of standing up for our rights, are fighting our own war in our own streets murdering our own people for SELFISH reasons. That makes us no better than what the country is out there doing.
