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.

I simply don’t agree with your opinion. Don’t call me out as part of the problem. I’m a legal gun owner who believes in sensible gun ownership. Obviously the inner city is more crime ridden than middle suburbia. I don’t think that has **** to do with race. It has everything to do with economics first and foremost which then leads to a breakdown of family values which then leads to a breakdown of the rule of law. You want me to put all the blame on black people? I refuse to do that.
