However, I jumped to the bigger conclusion, the racism involved, like the origin of these guns and also the social/environmental circumstances of living in a racist country, which in fact was founded on the principles of racism, which are perpetuated even unto this day. There is a myth that individuals are somehow entirely responsible for all of their actions, but this is not always the case, especially when there is outside influence. Sure, the black man who shoots another is responsible, but is not manufacturer, distributer, government regulators, and even our gun-oriented society at large also responsible for allowing such conditions to exist where person has access to such a tool of human destruction to begin with?
oh yeah, and what other fact did I get proved wrong on so quickly, the English situation of JA immigration? hardly...

I could sit here and take apart the whole of your last statement, but frankly I cant be bothered and floatingslowly seems to have summed it up better than I could
The only comment I will make is that every person on this planet has free will and the ONLY person responsible for the decision to pull a trigger is the owner of the finger on the trigger
Its a conscious decision taken by the person holding the gun
Noone else
Thank you for admitting you were wrong about the statistics
