You are deflecting and article does not mention Black-on-Black gang violence. The author's argument is that minorities do not get treated the same as others when it comes to Second Amendment.

From article: "Today, Black applicants are up to 5.5 times more likely than white applicants to be denied a concealed carry permit. Homicides in which ‘Stand Your Ground’ is used as a defense are 10 times more likely to be ruled justified when the shooter is white and the victim is Black than when the shooter is Black and the victim is white."

So, you just ignored the implications of the initial 4 paragraphs.

CPL LaForest Gray -"There’s no such thing as “black-on-black” crime. Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, " ???? YOU just contradicted yourself, rendering your 1st statement FALSE. YES, there IS ABSOLUTELY "such a thing". YOU simply spent the rest of your post explaining WHY it exists. And ALL that and NO point.

LTC EUGENE CHU "From article: "Today, Black applicants are " I call BS on those "stats". I want to see the sources. 5.5 times more likely to NOT get a CWL? Where? IN a "Shall issue "state or a "may issue"? I want to see WHY they were rejected, perhaps felons? Domestic violence conviction? See, the article doesn't mention ANY of that, it just slings out some crap stats.
AFA "Stand your ground" and "10 X more",blah,blah blah,,,,,one, there's PLENTY of white folks in jail right now, charged with manslaughter and murder, who claimed "Stand Your Ground". FYI, it is NOT "I was in fear for my life!". It is, "If I didn't shoot him, he was going to kill someone",,, AND, EVERY witness will testify to that. THAT is "Stand Your Ground". NOTHING ELSE.

IF it IS `10X more likely," then blacks are 10X more likely to NOT understand the concept. Folks can claim anything they want, that don't mean it will fly. and it's NOT a stat.,except a stat Of ignorance.
