If black people kept shooting white people, would hand guns be banned?

I bring up this question in obvious reference to the whole Trevon Martin shooting. Blacks getting killed by whites or blacks is very common. Whites getting killed by blacks is by no means the norm. When whites do it, gun laws don't change at all. Do you think if the tables were turned, black on white murder, this would be true?

    Blacks shoot blacks more than all other races combined. Why is that not a problem???

    Blacks kill white people everyday. I can't believe you think its not the norm. This is another case in Blacks playing the blame game and stirring up racism. Sure racism is alive and well but dang, its not always the root of every violent act and neither are guns. Trevon Martin was shot by a non-white and still white people get the blame.

    Actually, there is black-on-white crime ALL THE TIME. Usually using illegally obtained guns, when they are in play. Has ZERO to do with gun laws. Simple fact is, if you jump a guy from behind, and pin him to the ground, and he shoots you, it's your own fault. Color doesn't matter.

    Anyone who thinks outlawing handguns will reduce crime is a moron. If that was the case the UN would not rank Scotland as the developed world's most violent country, with England/Wales second.
