Trauma surgeons show 'profound' racial disparity in Philadelphia gun violence
Researchers argue for more research on firearm injury, including the establishment of a national database on incidents of gun violence. The authors point to recent research showing that in Philadelphia, gun murders and injuries are much more strongly associated with race than neighborhood income levels. Ref. Source 4l.
Yes, there is no doubt there is a racial disparity in an area that is also predominantly black. I bet the ratio is different in West Virginia. I also have to ask how many of these people committing gun violence get their guns illegally. If they are breaking the law to get guns they display a tendency towards being a criminal. Until we enter nirvana and all humans learn to do their fair share and love one another there will always be criminals and I sure like having a gun or twelve to protect myself from these miscreants.
