However, the one thing you will never hear in this debate, certainly from the left, is that they want to do anything to tackle overall gun crime. Why? Because it will disproportionately affect black people who commit a disproportionate amount of all gun crime.

Simon, There may be a general mindset in America that makes people want to have guns in the first place but for now step away from the matter of gun control.
Shootings in minority communities are distinct from the psychological factors that are involved in mass killings in schools. There seems to be segregation in this bloody matter too.
