I suspect law abiding black citizens in gangland ghettos aren&#x27;t doing most of the shootings either. What you&#x27;ve done here is to subdivide the whole American population into a group of &quot;not many shooters&quot; and &quot;Higher proportion of shooters&quot;. Of course you can always do that, and always find a more specific group that dominates the statistics for any type of crime. But there&#x27;s a worrying implication that we should somehow allow non-gang members to have guns but ban them from gang members. Or allow people in rich neighborhoods to have guns but ban them from ghettos. Or even, dare I say it, ban them from black people.<p>Really we need to ban guns from shooters. But there&#x27;s no way to identify them without catching a lot of harmless people up in the same net. Even poor black gang members can be harmless.
