... this has NOTHING to do with the NRA losing anything but money to legal fees because pussies like you, who sue The NRA because they don't want to sue who's REALLY at fault for violence... the BLM/Drag Queen/Gay/Socialist/Antifa/ Fascist/Marxist/Communist/Racist/ Insurrectionist/Liberal Democrats who are making our cities unlivable.

Liberals and Democrats are embarrassed by who the perpetrators of most homicides there are, so they sue the NRA, thinking that it's because of them, there are guns at all, and they can't sue old dead White men, who gave us the RIGHT to defend ourselves against tyranny, which DOES include what liberals and Democrat criminals are doing to our world.

Are your "racialized" peoples and gang members voting for the Conservatives in Canada?

Defining racialized population

The concept of "racialized groups" is measured with the "visible minority" variable in this release. There is currently no definition or standard for "racialized groups." Until further notice, derivation and dissemination of data for "racialized groups" follow the visible minority of person standard. "Visible minority" refers to whether or not a person belongs to one of the visible minority groups defined by the Employment Equity Act. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-White in colour." The visible minority population consists of the following groups: South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Arab, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Korean and Japanese. The concept of "rest of the population" is used to include any victim or accused person excluded from the concept of "racialized groups" or "visible minority".

Homicide in Canada

The homicide rate for Indigenous victims was six times higher than that of non- Indigenous victims in 2021

In 2021, approximately one-third (32%) of victims were identified by the police as racialized persons, resulting in a homicide rate of 2.51 per 100,000 racialized people.

In 2021, 40% of homicide victims were killed by shooting. Almost half (46%) of firearm-related homicides were identified as gang-related.

Overall, gang-related homicides continued to account for nearly one-quarter (23%) of all homicides. However, the 2021 gang-related rate was the highest (0.48 per 100,000 population)

In 2021, among the 762 homicide victims for whom information about racialized status was available, approximately one-third (32%; 247 victims) were identified as being racialized persons and represented a homicide rate of 2.51 per 100,000 racialized people. This rate was 34% higher than the previous year and 38% higher than the rest of the population (1.81).Note Among homicide victims against racialized people, approximately half were Black-Note and nearly one in five were South Asian.

Who Kills More People Democrats Or NRA Members?

"Guns aren't the problem, Democrats are."

Gun control is a huge American political issue right now (especially right after the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida). Democrats are all about infringing on Second Amendment rights because of school shootings, gun-related homicides, firearm deaths, and crime rates. They claim that Republicans and NRA members are mainly responsible for "gun violence" and are the reason why "common sense gun reform" laws need to be enacted to restrict firearm ownership. Like everyone else on TTAG, I had my doubts about their gun deaths claims and decided to crunch some numbers to see which political party's members commit more firearms murders in the United States.

I began by finding the most recent number of firearms murders (strictly murders, this doesn't include suicides or justifiable homicides). The .gov source I used: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention WISQARS website. I chose the most recent year they had available (2014). According to the CDC, there were 10,945 murders involving firearms in 2014.

Next, I needed to find an accurate source for murder rates by race. This violent crime stat needs to be broken down by race because each race will have different murder rates and voting rates, which is important for getting an final product based on political affiliation. The source I used was the US Department of Justice's homicide report published in 2011. The information contained in this report was averaged from 1980 to 2008. Here are the murder rates that can be found on the third page of the report:

52.5% were black perpetrators

45.3% were white perpetrators

2.2% were perpetrators of other races

Lastly, I needed to find the political affiliation for these races. The source I used was Cornell University. I chose to use information from the last presidential election (2012). Here are the voting rates for the Democrats broken down by race:

93% of blacks voted Democrat

39% of whites voted Democrat

67% of everyone else (average of all races other than black/white) voted Democrat

With numbers in hand, I began my calculations. First up was calculating the number of firearms murders by race. There are a few assumptions in this calculation. For on thing, it assumes that the murder rate from the 1980 to 2008 time period is somewhat correct for 2014 (the year I'm using for firearm murders). It also assumes that there is a 1:1 victim to perpetrator ratio (we all know that this isn't always true, i.e. mass murders by one perpetrator, but this is the easiest way to compute this information). Here are my calculations for 2014 firearm murders by race:

5,746.12 firearms murders by blacks (10,945 x .525)

4,958.09 firearm murders by whites (10,945 x .453)

240.79 firearm murders by others (10,945 x .022)

After this was complete, I needed to bring in another variable: political affiliation.

This calculation would give me the total number of firearms murders for Democrats (this political party is a continuation from the calculations above) in 2014 broken down by race. Again, there are a few assumptions here:

the 2012 political party affiliation is correct for 2014 (the year I'm using for firearm murders)
there is a 1:1 political party affiliation to each perpetrator ratio (we also know this isn't completely correct because it assumes that every perpetrator belongs to one of these 2 political parties). We have to make this assumption because there is no other data to go off of for this portion of the analysis and I believe that any error caused by it would only be +/- a few percentage points (hardly enough to have any substantial influence over the outcome).

Here are my calculations for 2014 firearm murders by race and Democrat affiliation (using this party again to remain consistent):

5,343.89 firearm murders by black Democrats (5,746.12 x .93)

1,933.66 firearm murders by white Democrats (4,958.09 x .39)

161.33 firearm murders by other Democrats (240.79 x .67)

Time to add these up to find the total number of firearm murders that were perpetrated by Democrats in 2014:

7,438.88 total firearm murders by Democrats (5,343.89 + 1,933.66 + 161.33)

Lastly, I found the percentage of firearm murders that were perpetrated by Democrats in 2014:

67.97% gun murders by democrats (7,438.88/10,945)

According to my calculations, about 68% of all gun homicides in 2014 were committed by Democrats. Only 32% of all firearm homicides in 2014 were committed by Republicans. This means that Democrats committed twice the number of firearm related murders than Republicans (68/32 = 2.125). This leads to three very important conclusions regarding gun policy:

Republicans aren't to blame for the number of firearm murders, as the Democrats try to claim

If Democrats stopped shooting people, we could reduce our firearm related murders by almost 70%

Holier-than-thou LIBERAL Canadians, think they're soooo superior when it comes to slavery, because they "ended" it (not really) a mere 30 years earlier.

Canada "ended" slavery a mere 30 years before Lincoln wrote the "Emancipation Proclamation".

HOW does that make Canada ANY "better" or different? It doesn't.
