Black people are more likely than any other ethnicity in the United States to be killed by a gun.
>Gun control debate overlooks biggest victims: black people
>I’m here to tell you that now, as in the past, the debate is overlooking the people most threatened by guns: black people.
>Black people are more likely than any other ethnicity in the United States to be killed by a gun. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, black men are 13 times more likely to be shot and killed than white men.
>The numbers are startling: There were 2.4 gun homicides per 100,000 white men from 2012 to 2016. For black men, it was 30.7 per 100,000 in the same period. In July, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 13.3 percent of the population was black.
They're also more likely than any other race to be arrested for gun crimes.
So it's hilarious to see the marches acting like they're channeling MLKjr when more gun control = more black men in prison.

According to your graph, people too young to buy guns murder with guns less. You just proved that banning legal purchase of guns solves the problem entirely.
