don't people today tote guns with restrictions and under license?..."generally" speaking, of course.

It "cites" the CDC and WHO, but good luck actually finding those numbers there.

Pretty good odds these are false statistics meant to exaggerate a pattern made up by hardcore racists to imply that America's gun violence issue is the result of racial constitution.

I'm sure subgenius will prove us wrong now by citing the CDC and WHO studies that show the numbers in this graph.

So is not the content if the graph but rather the author that you are basing your dismissal upon.
such idiocy is old hat for you...who cares for content when you can argue packaging...typical Liberal you are.

But that's cool, data that disagrees with you, must just be from racism, and thus really just proves you correct

Compared with white men, the researchers found that black men experienced 27 more firearm homicides per 100,000 people annually nationwide (29.12 for black men vs. 2.1 for white men)

This is neither a source for the graph or for the data it offers.

From subs’ second link:

“Suicide rates were found to be higher among white men than black men. Compared with black men, the researchers found that white men had nine more firearm suicides per 100,000 people annually nationwide (5.41 for black men vs. 14.34 for white men).”

Are we still assigning blame to the culture? What’s the solution for white male suicide by firearms, subs?

I’m not sure what you said squares with what he said.

Exactly. Whatever the providence of subbie's chart or it's accuracy, it had a clear intent to skew the data by focusing on homicides rather than gun-related deaths. When taken as a whole, being a young male in America regardless of race puts one at an alarming degree of risk for dying from being shot.

Not that you have an accompanying argument as to what this has to do with random folks with high-powered firearms spraying crowds with bullets.
