Poll: Who carries a pistol in their car?
- Thread starter Dutch Uncle
- Start date
Whites alone in America have a higher murder rate than any other country in the first world. There are many countries with more immigrants than the USA, but with lower murder rates. Canada for instance has more immigrants. Several countries have a number of Blacks, for instance France is about 8% Black, compared to the USA's 14%. The USA is alone with having so much murder.Ours is a very large nation with a very large population of 330M+ and a very large cross section of cultures.
Disagreed there. I've lived and visited a lot of countries and states. I'm a big believer in stats. Not general ones, but specific ones. They are a starting point for understanding what's happening in different areas of the nation or the world.
Example, in Michigan, and this seems to follow in most states, the leading cause of death for black males age 15 to 34 is homicide. For white males 15-34 it's accidents followed by suicide.
According to the FBI link, the #1 killer of black males is black males. Likewise, the #1 killer of white males is white males. While the total murders are about the same, the total population of white males outnumbers black males by over 5 to 1. So now the question is "why the differences"?
The racists will say "race" and leave it at that, but there's no such thing as race. It's culture. One's genetics can't be changed...yet LOL...but culture can change although it often takes a lot of time. The bottom link states that homicide, and violence, should be treated like a public health issue. I agree.
Liberals think the solution is to ban guns. MAGAts want to ignore it...probably because their leaders can read stats too and consider it a "black" problem. I advocate better mental health care across the nation.

Multiple interconnected issues contribute to this health crisis. Generational poverty, educational inequities, and systemic barriers create environments where violence becomes more prevalent. Research shows these conditions disproportionately affect Black communities, particularly men.
Why is murder a top health issue for Black men
Murder represents not merely a criminal justice concern but a critical public health crisis, particularly affecting Black men in America. Public healthrollingout.com
Neighborhood conditions play a crucial role in health outcomes. Many affected communities face challenges including limited economic opportunities, inadequate housing, and restricted access to essential services. These environmental factors create conditions where violence can proliferate, leading to increased health risks.
Access to health care remains a significant barrier. Mental health services, trauma care, and preventive health programs often prove difficult to obtain in affected communities. This lack of resources leaves many individuals without necessary support for addressing trauma or managing mental health challenges.
Canada is an interesting comparison, because they have a very similar culture to ours, and yet much fewer murders.
Yep New Orleans has a very high murder and violent crime rate.

Ah! Question: Adjudicated or convicted?

Why do you think that is?
Canada has less people in it than California and not many more than Texas.

Then you should feel safe from me, Arbie. No reason for you to be afraid, son.

The fact you have so little respect for your service is another reason why I believe you are suffering cognitive deterioration, Terry.
No sane person can dedicate 20 years of their lives to the service of their country and then repeatedly shit all over it as you so often do. Sad.
Those are possibilities. Or mental, as shown on this very forum.Ah! Question: Adjudicated or convicted?

Mental is adjudicated.
Why would I fear you? You're a coward. You'll run and hide behind those who are your betters. You're all mouth. A loser who has nothing and nobody who spends all day every day on the internet.

Your posts prove it, son. Why else would I bother you so much if you didn't fear me?
Haiti has fewer people than Canada, and is not exactly a crime free area. There is something to be said for concentration of people causing more murders, but number of people rarely does. Canada ends up being more concentrated than the USA in where people live, so should have a higher murder rate.
I find it unbelievable that it is illegal to register stolen guns on a computer. I find it unbelievable that if a gun you own is involved in a crime, you can report it stolen after the fact and not get into any trouble. It is almost like the system is constructed to try to help people sell their guns to criminals.

Dutch on a good day...
You read every post I make. You're on my ass like a dog in heat. After a while, you have to cave and quote me. You are obsessed and scared shitless.
But don't worry, you proved your cowardice some time ago. You are nothing to be afraid of. you're always here.

Democrats have been trying to ban guns for over 30 years and the only results were more guns and looser laws. When will they wise up?

Actually not, son, but your fear of me appears to be making you paranoid.
I do not think so. Or most Democrats have not been trying to ban guns at least. We need some reasonable gun regulations, especially about stolen guns.
Actually so, child., but your fear of me makes you a coward.
