#2 Let me guess: women & minorities?

And they were probably gunned down by white Policemen? NOT!

It would be interesting to see Illinois stats.

#3 How much of that crime is gang related? 100%? 50%?

#4 We study victims, this is a good read. I always wonder what the charts would look like if we built the chart per state of the race of shooters, black on black, white on white, black on white, etc... Also how many of the shootings are self defense.

#5 Hmmm. Raaaaaycis Alertt!!11!! I'd like to see a study on the "Cost to America: Minorities and Illegal Immigrants"

how much have we expended via Great Society and it's various add-ons since - welfare; unemployment; increased policing; hospital care; EBT; crime costs in: a) deaths, b) income loss, c) opportunity lost; educational $ wasted; ...

never happen, I know

#6 Well the one obvious conclusion (and appropriate response) - that will NEVER see the light of day - would be to take firearms away from blacks and Hispanics.

It would not be possible in any practical way, and it would also violate the US Constitution. So - I guess there is no recourse - the slaughter of blacks and Hispanics by other blacks and Hispanics will simply continue, unabated.

It is too bad that a non-trivial percentage of white people manage to get caught in the cross fire.

#7 State variation in hospital mortality for firearm-assault injury is even starker when analyzed by insurance status. In five of the six study states, uninsured victims of firearms assault have higher mortality rates than those with some form of insurance.

They do make some good recommendations, such as providing mental health services and substance abuse treatment. However, like much of medicine, it is a reactive treatment, while prophylactic measures tend to be non-judgmental (we can't tell you that being a gangbanger will increase your chances of dying.)

Non-medical-wise, it would require, to use Eric Holder's quote "a serious discussion." Something that neither Mr. Holder or the various leaders are really willing to have.
