(597 posts)You can pore through FBI, DoJ, CDC, Census and other statistics to figure out who is killing whom, where they are doing it and what they are doing it with. It's a bit of work, but some days it is worth it. Today is one of those days.
Politically incorrect yet true:
If you have 100,000 white guys with guns and 100,000 black guys without guns, the odds are greater that one of the black guys will stab you to death than one of the white guys will shoot you to death. So, for those of you thinking the attacker is the hero here, keep this in mind if you want to emulate him in the name of public safety:
If you see a white guy wearing a gun standing next to a black guy wearing a knife...tackle the black guy.
And no, this isn't racist, it's crime statistics. It is also a good way to determine who has a rational attitude towards firearms and who is a ranting fearmonger laboring under the delusion that they are a rational liberal.
As for me, I'm not even going to check back in on this thread. Confirming the accuracy of my calculations does not require my presence, and those who have no inclination to change their attitude would not accept the validity of those calculations even if I laid out every step for them with source links.
