More than half the gun-related deaths in the US are suicides.
Isn’t that a huge problem that should be addressed and reduced?
80% of the homicide victims are black males, predominately committed by black males.
Meanwhile, only 13.6% of the US population is black, so assume half are male.
80% of the homicides are committed by 6% of the population.
Aren’t the deaths of African American deaths as important as the deaths of other people?

If the price we have to pay to save the lives of people like this is to restrict other people's use of guns for hunting, so be it.

Go ahead, keep promoting guns which lead to violence, and just watch the value of your property decline.
Gun violence concerns and rising crime rates, among other factors, have driven many of America's wealthy to move abroad or shift their primary residences, Henley & Partners wrote.

Please someone give Paladin a compass. He has wondered into a progressive website, and is a little lost.

Do they?
There are 95,000 AR15s in Canada, how many have been used in murders in the last 20 or 30 years?

I know you would like to think progressives down own guns. Luckly for me and other gun owners there are lots of Liberal and NDP gun owners. They gave Trudeau a loud fuck no to his latest bullshit attempt to take more guns away.
Lots of female and visible minority gun owners and firearm or accessory business owners. Maybe you shouldn't speak for them.

Armed with rifles, a 'mudroots' Detroit group wards off crime
On the eve of Black History Month this year, a community group based in Detriot went viral after sharing clips on social media of its members, many dressed in all-black and armed with long rifles, assisting women around the city by pumping gas into their vehicles and loading groceries into their cars.
The group’s open display of guns — broadly legal in Michigan — was greeted by many people not for being threatening but for protecting Black women in dangerous neighborhoods at night.
The group, New Era Detroit, has been carrying out this kind of public safety work in the city’s most crime-ridden streets for almost a decade.
“We do this out of love,” Nilajah Alonzo, one of the leaders of New Era Detroit, told Yahoo News.
The group’s Instagram page includes videos of members escorting child acre workers home late at night from a daycare only a block from where a murder had recently taken place. Another social media post shows members hosting a workshop with children on conflict resolution.
“We're not trying to be crime heroes or anything like that,” Alonzo said. “We're just trying to educate and uplift our community.”

One less house robber in the GTA
Man, 22, charged with murder after fatally shooting suspect who tried to rob his house, lawyer says
"He is a registered firearm owner and used his gun legally against an armed intruder," Virk said. "He shouldn't be charged with murder for protecting his mother from someone that broke into his home."
Virk said Mian’s intention was "not to kill the intruder, he only shot at him once."

I agree that these people should lose their guns.
"I feel like I've been hit by a truck and have mobility issues due to injuries," Barnett told CBC News in a text.
"I'm traumatized from the whole experience," he wrote. "I'm terrified to be outside alone."
On Monday afternoon, police issued a statement confirming the incident and said it was a case of mistaken identity.
Barnett, in his complaint, said he wants reprimands and suspensions for the officers involved. He doesn't want them to be permitted to carry weapons anymore.

There is definitely something seriously wrong, something seriously unhealthy amongst right-wingers, so why don’t right-wingers clean up their own act, and put their own house in order, before saying one peep about others?
Every domestic extremist murder last year was committed by right-wingers
