And dont buy the latest and greatest. It is a waste of money. It will lose its value as soon as you put it together. Always buy the mid range equipment right before the price jump. Once you start shopping you will see what I mean.

Are guns really the problem?
I think for the most part that it is a commonly known fact throughout much of the USA and countries like England that blacks cause a disproportionate amount of crime against their fellow citizen. Using the logic that many liberals use, "Guns are bad, so let's ban them," couldn't we use this same argument against blacks? "Guns don't kill people, but blacks cause a disproportionate amount of murder! Let's get rid of them!"
I am not suggesting we do this, I am just seeing what others have to say. If we did in fact "make disappear" all the blacks in the United States, who would bet money that crime rates would significantly go down in many communities? Also, would this crappy youth culture that pervades society disappear? Any comments?This is X-C. Merged accounts with my old account jAk.

No.
It's about culture, not skin colour. How can you suggest that someones skin colour defines the likelyhood they'll commit a crime?
Yes, crime rates would likely go down...there'd be less people idiot.
Oh and no, most of the crime here is one by whites.

I am just using the supposed logic of anything that is bad, ban it.
And in essense, you're saying black culture is the problem, not the blacks themselves. Racist!This is X-C. Merged accounts with my old account jAk.

It may not be biological or cultural aspects that are leading to the disparities. It may be that the criminal justice system is racist in it's practices at various levels.
For example, statistics have shown that whites and blacks use drugs at about the same rates. Then, why are blacks disproportionately arrested for drug crimes? Whites tend to live in the suburbs where they have more privacy. Police are not likely to catch a teen smoking pot in his parent's basement. In urban areas, where minorities tend to be concentrated, drug use tends to occur out in the open where police can easily observe it.
So, that's another twist on the situation. The problem may be the system rather than the people.
