A quick google search shows a homicide rate of 1.6 per 100k in Finland so I’m calling bullshit on racist piece of shit poster’s graph

I clicked on your link...looks like ~2 per 100K white males, ~35 per 100k black males, ~7 per 100K Hispanic Males
Also from CDC Site (https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/firea...s/index.html):
Of course I could be spreading lies and misinformation....from YOUR source....the CDC!
I am not going to get bogged down in the details of your chart by race.
It is comparing firearm homicides in the usa with all firearm issues in other countries. it is .2 in finland and 0.12 in france for homicides (perr 100k).

the shades of blue are hard to read but the numbers don't correlate with your chart where the details are given without a source and seem made up.
presenting any evidence of the gun violence rates segregated by race as if this gun issue doesn't affect all of us (suicides, violent crime, mass murder) means you are fucking racist dumbfuck moron.

Sorry that you posted that link now aren't you....
So the government has to access credit card sales records for bulk online ammo orders rather than their own paperwork to track down gun hoarders?
Whether a legit concern or not, the fear that registering today will allow the government to confiscate weapons in the future is seared into the consciousness of a non-trivial portion of the population. Maybe the original Red Dawn had something to do with it, dunno, but it's very much a hard line for some people and a lot of politicians.

Not really, minorities are more affected by our shitty gun laws. Are you happy about that? Does that make it ok that a bunch of kids got shot up in a school or a lot of people will stick a handgun in their mouths and pull the trigger?
Are you sorry you posted a chart where every column is demonstrably false?

Maybe we should listen to those most affected:

It's like a reverse-strawman. He makes some point that doesn't really have anything to do with the issue at hand, ties it to race so you don't want to agree, but then when you finally say "okay, so?" he can act like he gotcha agreeing with him which then somehow means he's right on everything else and you're wrong. It's dumb.
It would be one thing to say "shoot the messenger" when the point was factual, but when it's entirely fiction... fuck. can we shoot him, or do we have waiting lists for this kind of stuff yet? Maybe I shouldn't be able to get a gun after joking around about shit like this online, that would be cool too!

A socio-economic break down would be more revealing but, as we all know, his bullshit is a racist sideshow distraction.
I disagree with the "Any gun" point of view here. Semi-auto/auto-loading rifles moving to 21 shouldn't be that hard of a sell. Just like hand guns, I couldn't go buy one when I turned 18. It wasn't a big deal then...not being able to buy a semi-auto rifle till 21 isn't some huge infringement if pistols haven't been. However, 18 year olds should be able to purchase non-semi auto long guns...which are almost 100% used for hunting.

Bobby and many others made similar arguments in previous mass shooting threads. Race appears to be a deeply ingrained internalized rational for accepting gun violence in America.
Another way to look at the data however is by taking race out of it and looking at the data according to the percentage of residents living in poverty. From that perspective the gun violence epidemic in America disproportionately affects people living in poor communities with little social mobility irrespective of skin color. Poor low social mobility communities experience about 30% higher rates of gun violence. High gun violence rates means nearly everyone in low social mobility communities are impacted by gun violence which further exacerbates economic inequality leading to even less social mobility. It's a vicious cycle.
And as others pointed out, on the other side of the equation you have higher suicide rates and gun accident rates in communities with higher rates of gun ownership regardless of income. Firearm homicide accounts for 'only' about 40% of gun deaths, the rest are gun suicides and gun accidents. In addition, the ratio non-fatal firearm injuries to deaths is greater than 3-to-1. The annual cost of gun injury alone in America is nearly $300 billion, or about 1.5% of GDP.
When you add it all up, everyone in America regardless of race or gun ownership or economic status is taking a haircut, is getting taxed, by gun violence in America.
guns are not an issue in rural america except for suicide and violence toward women. of course these are important but to your average american - not so much... yay america
the gun violence in urban america (polite for minority neighborhoods) is a serious issue. the numbers don't lie:
in 2015, 26% ofall firearm homicides in the United States occurred in census tracts that contained only 1.5% of thepopulation
That's past tense.. Pretty sure we will be seeing more and more of this too...

And where was that school that got shot up last week? Rural 'Murika!
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
Actually, it can be, but depends on where you live. Saw this article pop in and it has a great (if slightly limited due to data availability) set of examinations of rural/urban causes of death - https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/ar...-rural-america

If you make an apples-to-apples state-to-state, not state-to-city comparison, on a per-capita basis states with higher gun ownership rates and fewer gun restrictions tend to have higher rates of gun-homicides, gun-suicides, and gun-accidents. That includes states with high rates of localized gun violence like Chicago in the state of Illinois. Illinois has a per-capita gun death rate if 14.1 whereas more rural gun owning states like Alaska (23.5), Alabama (23.6), or Tennessee (21.3) have much higher gun death rates.

re: guns not an issue in rural america
Gun violence seems to follow the locations of population density. So more heavily east half of country, but not limited to urban areas or even mostly urban areas, or even just the east.
