MORE BLACKS SEE GUNS AS LIFESAVER

Two years after the Newton, Connecticut, school massacre, Americans are coming to appreciate their gun rights more than ever. And despite the billions of dollars spent to convince people otherwise, the idea of more gun control is anathema to most Americans.

Even women and black Americans are less likely to see guns as a safety risk and more likely to view them as protection against crime, according to a Pew Research Center poll.

And for the first time in 25 years, more Americans say that protecting gun rights is more important than controlling gun ownership, 52 percent to 46 percent.

Americans now believe having a gun is the best way to protect against crime, 63 percent to 30 percent, a dramatic shift from 10 years ago.

Blacks see guns as a signature of wealth. Like in Africa , how many cows or goats that a family has.
The blacks issue guns to the very young for protection against police . They know they won't charge the young because they are minors (minority) back at you .

The 2013 FBI Uniform Crime Report, a compilation of annual crime statistics, 83 percent of white victims were killed by white offenders; 90 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders; 14 percent of white victims were killed by black offenders; and 7.6 percent of black victims were killed by whites

If anyone needs guns it's poor blacks. They live in dangerous neighborhoods. It's their constitutional right!
