    I do think gun ownership is/was white driven, but gun ownership/use is not just a white thing anymore. I also think gun sentiment is different in different parts of the country/society/culture. Urban sentiment and reasoning is going to be different from a rural one.

      Viceland had an eye-opening Black Market episode about the gun situation in this country.

        Oh, there is a huge black market in guns....hell years ago I knew a volunteer for inner city kids and had told me these kids could rent guns for something and if they didn't use them, could bring them back. If they were used they had to buy it and keep it or lose it.

          It's disturbing to consider these young black kids buying guns, from southern NRA badge wearing confederate folks, willy-nilly and bringing the weapons north only to kill each other.
