Black women in America are almost always killed by someone they know, most often with a gun, and usually as the result of an argument...So the obvious solution as proposed by Josh Sugarmann of the VPC is to disarm black males (specifically between the ages of 18 and 65) since that would reduce gun homicides against black women by 93%.
93 percent (463 out of 499) of the homicides of black females were intra-racial (meaning that both the victim and offender were of the same race).
The average age of black female homicide victims was 35 years old.
"Successful efforts to reduce America's black homicide toll must put a focus on reducing access to firearms."
Makes sense right? If it saves just one life it should be endorsed and promoted by all gun control groups. Will Ladd Everitt, Josh Horwitz and Dan Gross jump on board for this? How about Mayor's Bloomburg or Emanual? They're all one big happy Joyce Foundation family and should support eachother's endeavors.

I don't have the data in front of me, but I am pretty sure that the fraction of white women killed by white men is somewhere around 90% as well. WE need to disarm white males as well.
Yes you do.
Nice headline but I don't think you can come up with a direct quote from Sugarman saying that access to guns needs to be restricted or denied to black males exclusively, which is what you are implying.
Obviously what Sugarman wants is an across the board denial of all Americans rights in order to save African American communities from themselves.
