[QUOTE="OldWiseGuy, post: 69234633, member: 139156"] I have been pleading for "context" on these boards for years. No one, NO ONE, will entertain this crazy notion. Everyone uses statistics, even (gasp) me from time to time. Note: Mass murders are a very rare event, not to be considered a substantial element in the homicide or gun debate. Also most so-called "mass murders" are actually "multiple victim" homicides, not true mass murders as the term is generally understood. And yes, I do believe blacks are more violent than whites. I wouldn't post statistics that support this if I didn't ("violent" also needs context). Context is a dirty word to the anti's, because when gun homicides are examined within their context there is little that could have been done to prevent them. So they have chosen to fashion [I]statistics[/I] into a giant club to beat us over the head with. [/QUOTE]
