Your statement is false, made up, incorrect, not true. Once again, my information was not from the NRA or the KKK, but from the DOJ's BJS Website. From 1976 - 2002, 56% of all gun homicides were committed by black offenders. 50.6% of all gun homicide victims were also black. Anything over 50% is a majority. And no, it is false and incorrect to say that the "NRA was founded in conjunction with the KKK...." The NRA was founded in 1871 in New York by two former Union Army Officers (the first President of the NRA was a former commander of the Union Army of the Potomac) who upset with the lack of marksmanship shown by union soldiers. The KKK was not founded by former Union Army Officers. re:"No, the fact is most gun violence is white-white and due to shoddy gun regulation. But you don't get that impression from watching TV news. They always troll the black neighborhoods looking for violent events to cover."
