I think what we do is try to remove Blacks from all the statistics to see if we are actually doing as horribly vs other White populations as we are led to think. Typically we're not btw. The MSM and left in general love to make us feel miserable so they can offer the cure of more government but the truth is that the misery is concentrated in their strongholds. If I'm an intellectually and financially successful White American I don't want my self image dragged down by the sector of the population that is ruled by thugs when the sun goes down now do I?

Here are some facts.
Based on survey data from a 2000 study published in theJournal of Quantitative Criminology,U.S. civilians use guns to defend themselves and others from crime at least 989,883 times per year. (Paper: "Measuring Civilian Defensive Firearm Use: A Methodological Experiment." By David McDowall and others.)
A 1995 study in theJournal of Criminal Law and Criminology based upon a 1993 nationwide survey of 4,977 households found that over the previous five years, at least 3.5% of households had members who had used a gun "for self-protection or for the protection of property at home, work, or elsewhere." Applied to the U.S. population, this amounts to 1,029,615 such incidents per year. This figure excludes all "military service, police work, or work as a security guard." (Paper: "Armed Resistance to Crime: The Prevalence and Nature of Self-Defense with a Gun." By Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz.)
A 1994 survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Americans use guns to frighten away intruders who are breaking into their homes about 498,000 times per year. (Paper: "Estimating intruder-related firearm retrievals in U.S. households, 1994." By Robin M. Ikeda and others.Violence and Victims)
A 1982 survey of male felons in 11 state prisons dispersed across the U.S. found:
• 34% had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"
• 40% had decided not to commit a crime because they "knew or believed that the victim was carrying a gun" (Book:Armed and Considered Dangerous: A Survey of Felons and Their Firearms(Expanded Edition). By James D. Wright and Peter D. Rossi. Aldine De Gruyter)
In 1976, the Washington, D.C. City Council passed a law generally prohibiting residents from possessing handguns and requiring that all firearms in private homes be (1) kept unloaded and (2) rendered temporally inoperable via disassembly or installation of a trigger lock. The law became operative on Sept. 24, 1976.
On June 26, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, struck down this law as unconstitutional.
During the years in which the D.C. handgun ban and trigger lock law was in effect, the Washington, D.C. murder rate averaged 73% higher than it was at the outset of the law, while the U.S. murder rate averaged 11% lower. (Dataset: "Uniform Crime Reporting Program, District of Columbia, 1960-2008." Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.)
The homicide rate in England and Wales has averaged 52% higher since the outset of the 1968 gun control law and 15% higher since the outset of the 1997 handgun ban. ( Report: "Homicides, Firearm Offences and Intimate Violence 2008/09." Edited by Kevin Smith and John Flatley. UK Home Office, January 21, 2010)
In 1982, the city of Chicago instituted a ban on handguns. This ban barred civilians from possessing handguns except for those registered with the city government prior to enactment of the law. The law also specified that such handguns had to be re-registered every two years or owners would forfeit their right to possess them. In 1994, the law was amended to require annual re-registration. In June 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that Chicago's ban is unconstitutional.[51]
Since the outset of the Chicago handgun ban, the Chicago murder rate has averaged 17% lower than it was before the law took effect, while the U.S. murder rate has averaged 25% lower. (Data obtained from the Census Bureau and FBI)
Since the outset of the Chicago handgun ban, the percentage of Chicago murders committed with handguns has averaged about 40% higher than it was before the law took effect. (Data obtained from the Census Bureau and FBI)
Between February 2004 and February 2010, 1,225 firearm and three explosives background checks for people on terrorist watch lists were processed through the federal background check system. Of these, 91% of the firearm transactions and 100% of the explosives transactions were allowed. (Report: "Terrorist Watchlist Screening." Government Accountability Office, May 5, 2010.)
A 1997 U.S. Justice Department survey of 14,285 state prison inmates found that among those inmates who carried a firearm during the offense for which they were sent to jail, 0.7% obtained the firearm at a gun show, 1% at a flea market, 3.8% from a pawn shop, 8.3% from a retail store, 39.2% through an illegal/street source, and 39.6% through family or friends. ( Report: "Firearm Use by Offenders." By Caroline Wolf Harlow, U.S. Department of Justice, November 2001.)
On October 1, 1987, Florida's right-to-carry law became effective. As of July 31, 2010, Florida has issued 1,825,143 permits and has 746,430 active licensees,constituting roughly 5.4% of the state's population that is 21 years of age or older. Since the outset of the Florida right-to-carry law, the Florida murder rate has averaged 36% lower than it was before the law took effect, while the U.S. murder rate has averaged 15% lower. ( Dataset: "Uniform Crime Reporting Program, United States, 1960-2008." Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.)
In January 1996, Texas's right-to-carry law became effective. In 2009, Texas had 402,914 active licensees, constituting roughly 2.4% of the state's population that is 21 years of age or older. Since the outset of the Texas right-to-carry law, the Texas murder rate has averaged 30% lower than it was before the law took effect, while the U.S. murder rate has averaged 28% lower. (Dataset: "Uniform Crime Reporting Program, United States, 1960-2008." Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.)
I don't have the time to go through the entire list you posted, so I thought I'd just start with the first reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_McDowall_(criminologist)
In 2012, he said that "Given that half of the U.S. households own a gun, armed self-defense is extremely uncommon."[8] In 1995, McDowall and two of his colleagues published a study evaluating the effect of passing more lenient concealed carry laws on homicide rates in three states, and found that these laws did not reduce homicide rates and, in fact, may have even increased them in two of the states studied.[9][10]
He cherry picked the blonde haired blue eyed woman in Texas because it supports his deranged narrative...Nevermind the fact that there could be 100 shootings in any given "hot weekend" in Chicago, but since that is the norm, there is no way to make any isolated incident memorable...
Apparently, getting shot repeatedly by your mother or spouse ( who happens to be white ) is a known risk in Texas as well. And sure, either of these events could occur in Canada, it's just a statistical fact that both are far less likely to occur in Canada then the US.
A good number of you Americans don't seem to care, you accept a more violent culture and unless it involves you personally you let it go. Just like many Americans care very little about poverty or a sense of fair play in your country either. It's just gotten too extreme on several fronts in my opinion.
Yep, still cherrypicking data points...Nine_Ender, the ever menstruating mangina...
The most effective way to stop jaywalking is to shoot offenders a few times - ten or fifteen shots to the head should be enough.. They will never jaywalk again. In fact , we can eliminate repeat offenders for all crimes using this one simple technique: Just shoot the offender a dozen or more times. If the police would just shoot everyone who tries to run from them, there would be relatively few who tried to run from police more than once. It is much better to nip crimes in the bud before they happen. So if the police see someone they think might commit a crime they should go ahead and shoot them a few times. This will effectively nip crime in the bud.
If these policies are faithfully carried out we can all rest assured that more crime will be '...stopped by guns than perpetrated."

A stupid attempt at humor, but just one step removed from the obscenity filled tirades that Piezoe engages in several times per year.
Or maybe we just need a 1,000 word missive by Piezoe to clear up the matter.
Lol. Spot on
Silly post man.
