Who owns guns in America? White men, mostly

1 Name: Anonymous : 2015-12-04 21:13
A Pew Research Center report from 2013 compiled in-depth statistics on people who owned guns or had guns in the household. It found that white males make up the bulk of America's gun owners.

The chart below shows one way to look at this discrepancy: 31 percent of whites own guns, and white men make up a much larger share of that than white women. Another way to look at it is to think about how the population of all Americans compares to the population of Americans who own guns: Only 32 percent of Americans are white men. But white males make up 61 percent of gun owners.

Izzat legally owned guns?.......or otherwise?

Those Statistics can get slightly skewed simply because people lie about the guns they're not supposed to possess.

Probably not that hard when whites are still the majority in this country. Now who shoots each other the most? That would be blacks despite being such a small percentage.

How do they gather stats on who owns illegal guns? I mean, look at facebook.

It's comical how easy so many criminals prefer to make the job of cops.

"Oh, look......there's a known felon posting photos of himself holding a gun".

Is it white gun owners who are doing the killings in our urban areas?

Insinuation is racist.
