It's as plain as day here in DC -- the Washington Post has even done graphics showing it -- overlay the blocks where the murders take place with the racial makeup and demographics, and the correlation is extremely strong. It is not that simple. There are too many variables that you would have to control in order to come up with any definitive answers. 1. Skin color 2. Genetics 3. Ethnicity 4. Poverty 5. Availability of illegal drugs 6. Business and employment opportunities 7. Church attendance 8. family composition 9. Community infracstructure (school systems, recreational facilities, health care availability, etc). 10. and perhaps a few hundred other variables that I can not think of for the moment. But, gun ownership and the consequences can be quantified and controlled (for study purposes).
