I Used to think Gun Control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

The fiercely debated issue of Gun Control strongly divides Democrats and Republicans in the United States of America. The Second Amendment becomes a hot topic of conversation whenever a shooting makes the national news and tempers flare across the political spectrum. This presentation presents the available evidence regarding gun prevalence, gun homicides, gun control laws and much more in an attempt to get to the bottom of this complicated issue. What is the Truth About Gun Control?

Crime by Race

Because of the obscure way in which the FBI reports the race and ethnicity of offenders, we had to make several approximations. First off, Hispanic data is separated from race data and is broken down to "Hispanic" or "not Hispanic" for the entire dataset. While it is safe to assume that most Hispanics were classified as white because of the colour of their skin, we didn't want to make any assumptions. To figure out the percentage of Hispanic offenders and separate it from the white, black, asian etc. race categories, we used Census data on how Hispanics identify themselves racially. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of them identify as white, and very few consider themselves black. Given the very low percentage of black Hispanics, we counted "Some Other Race" as white. Another problem with the FBI dataset was the vast number of "Unknown" reported offenders. Because we couldn't make any reasonable assumptions about the race of the unknown offenders, we used the arrest tables as a proxy for the distribution of crime by race.

I don't know how you can trust Trump but I agree with pretty much all the rest.

The more you know what's going on, the more you'll trust Trump. You will NOT get the real story from ANY MSM outlet. That includes Fox. You must seek out independent news sources for the real scoop.

If you count Hispanics as white then you are going to make white people look quite violent indeed. Why focus on race at all? When we look at the numbers the disparities we see that break down by race also almost perfectly break down by socio economic status. A large percentage of black people are in poverty, a slightly smaller percentage of Hispanic people and an even smaller percentage of white people are born into poverty. Thus a large percentage of those arrested, murdered and shot by police are black, a slightly smaller percentage are Hispanic and an even smaller percentage are white non Hispanics.

Sadly I could not get your video to play so I don't know what you conclude, that was just click bait about no guns for white men right?
