It seems that the only gun violence some leftists approve of is gun violence aimed at cops and other groups they see as oppressive or racist.

Gun-related violence and murders are concentrated among blacks and Latinos in big cities.

I support gun control. But speaking honestly about the combustible mix of race and guns may be more important to stopping the slaughter in minority communities than any new gun-control laws.

Gun violence is a plague in all of our communities, and we must come together to stop it.

Long before gun control was touted as 'common sense' measures, the concept was promoted as a means to keep ethnic populations in an unequal position while assuaging the fears of whites.

There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.

Getting guns off the streets does make communities safer. We can't stand here and say because we don't have the perfect solution, we shouldn't try.

The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will loose.

More guns are not the answer to keeping our kids and our communities safer.

Murders with guns are the No. 1 cause of death for African-American men between the ages of 15 and 34. But talking about race in the context of guns would also mean taking on a subject that can't be addressed by passing a law: the family-breakdown issues that lead too many minority children to find social status and power in guns.
