No we were not hit by another planet but something far worse, The Death of innocent Children and now the assault of liberal politicians and their followers to punish all of society for this horrific mess. In reality it is just Obama and friends using this crisis and these children and families to promote their own liberal agenda to disarm all law abiding Citizens and trample once more on the Constitution of the USA. Yes if and when they accomplish this it will surely be the apocalypse.
You seem to think you are an intelligent person, so, why not solve a real problem?
If Gun Crimes/killing in t he USA a committed primarily by African American and Latino Male Teens with illegal Guns, why would the govt. concentrate on more Gun Laws? Here is a quote from the Black teens project and the link:
"Young black males die from gun violence at a rate 2.5 times higher than Latino males, and eight times higher than white males. Gun injuries are suffered by black teens at a rate ten times higher than white teens."
http://www.blackyouthproject.com/2012/03%E2%80%A6
Here is some more documented information: 5,740 Teens DIED and of that 3,892 were homicides, others were suicide. 2,320 were Black. The rate is that Blacks rate was 2.5 X higher than Latino and 8X higher than White.
Now consider that 66% of the USA is Non Hispanic White and only 12.4 % are African American.
Overall, including adults Blacks are 7X higher than whites to commit Gun murder. Among blacks, 65% is Drug related while among whites it is 34%. as for Gangs well it is 41% for Blacks and 55 for white (BTW for these numbers for gangs, Latino is considered white). Below are far more detailed Stats on the subject: Please study the graphics in the link below:

QUESTION/CHALLENGE to you and the Government of the USA
"So Based on simple logic, should we profile and target Black and Latino Male Teenagers for their own safety and solve MOST of our Gun problem and most other Crime? BTW since almost all of Black crime in the USA is Black on Black so Whites 21 and over are in very little comparable danger."
This surely sounds racist , but it is the Facts, not my Opinion and not Racist at all. Just ask the Black Mayor of Philadelphia as he talks about it all the time while looking for ways to stem Black Crime of all types. Simply put Growing up Black, particularly in our major cities is very very dangerous life. I don't know how to change them or take away their illegal guns since over 90 % are already illegal and more anti gun laws just make guns more attractive.
IF you have a solution tell all of us. All the gun laws in the world will not help at all, we must change the environment and the attitudes. almost l the guns used are illegal anyway under any law and will continue to be so under any new law including total ban on all guns for everybody for any reason.
I am fully aware that these latest mass murders are not done by blacks but still as horrific as it is, it is still very small compared to the overall problem where Children in Black communities are routinely shot by stray bullets in the cross fire of the real big problem which is open warfare on our streets every day between teens that are mostly Black or Hispanic. I don't have the stats on how many are undocumented residents, but it is high nor do I know how man are from single parent homes which is an even higher number. Black and Hispanic Mothers Cry every day as their teen age kids are shot and killed by others of the same peer group. They also cry every week just in this area because their innocent Children are killed in the cross fire.Just last Night a Woman was shot in Philadelphia in her frot room while watching TV by a "Stray Bullet that entered her home. This is a Frequent occurrence in most Major inner Cities. One Murder at a time adds up to very large numbers. The Police try to stop it but are shot in the process. PROFILING IS ILLEGAL and the perpetrators when not killing are laughing at the police who can do nothing unless they catch the crime in process. They are not allowed to stop and search suspects or even check ID because of these protective laws. Yet the same people who pass these laws want to outlaw guns! These are the Real Whackjobs of America! Just how do they proposed to enforce these new or old laws? These people do not bother to get a license and never will.
Yes I suggest rigorous profiling as a deterrent and preventive against the already illegal guns. Profile People not weapons of choice. Why is everyone from Congress and the President so afraid to debate this real issue.
