And this is kind of where I have been heading with this discussion. Left leaning anti-gun politicians and their friends in the media portray America as having a problem with gun violence. They want to peanut butter spread responsibility for this across all gun owners. They want to portray lawful gun owners, of all races, as contributing to the problem.

Nothing could be further from the truth. We do not have a gun violence problem in this country, we have a black violence problem. Subtract black on black "gun" violence numbers from the total and we instantly become one of the safest, most violence free nations in the world. We have a problem here that no one wants to even talk about.

Witness our own upsscott, a typical example of that breed. Page after page of discussion in which I challenged him to address this issue. He refused. Nothing but obfuscation and redirection. Which is one thing on a silly car forum like this, but it is exactly how the national discussion is going as well. We will never even begin to fix this until we can openly discuss it without fear of the "woke" or "politically correct" ostracizing us for doing so.
