Whites are committing suicides with guns. No white deaths pages for those senseless death by whites from the all lives matter crowd.
62% of U.S. gun deaths are suicides
Del. Jason Miyares, R-Virginia Beach, has offered a compromise red-flag bill that would take firearms away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others.
While the gun-control debate has largely focused on stopping mass shootings, Miyares says the biggest value of his bill could be that it would stop some people from shooting themselves.
"On average, 65% of all gun deaths in America are from suicides," he said during an August 14
interview on The John Frederick Show, a conservative radio broadcast. "...This is one step we could do, in my opinion, to prevent people from harming themselves. "It’s not just about some of the mass carnage."
We fact-checked his claim that suicides account for 65 percent of gun deaths in the U.S. The latest information comes from an annual report issued in June 2019 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study is called, "
Deaths, Final Data for 2017."
According to the data, there were 38,882 deaths by firearms in 2017, and 23,854 were suicides. That comes to 61.4% - a little lower than Miyares’ figure.
In addition to suicides, the statistics showed 14,542 of the gun deaths (37.4%) were murders, and 486 were accidental (1.2%).
Because Miyares began his statement saying "on average," we computed 10 years of statistics - from 2008 through 2017. There were 335,746 gun deaths, and 208,287 were suicides. That’s a 62% average - again, a little lower than Miyares figure.
Over 10 years, the CDC reported 335,746 gun deaths, and 208,287 were suicides. That’s 62%.

White Americans represent 85 percent of all firearm suicide victims, and have the highest rate of firearm suicide by race.
Firearm suicide is preventable, and addressing it is an essential element of any strategy to reduce gun violence in America.

So while the racists keep talking about Chicago and blacks, whites are killing themselves in highers numbers in places like, Laramie, Pocatello and Butte. Whites commit 85 percent of the suicides in America. This means that every single day 54 white people kill themselves with a gun. But whites are here preaching to us about 4 people killed in Chicago. Now don't try that per capita crap because this number shows thst whites are killing themselves at a far higher rate than their population.
There are 23,000 firearm suicides annually and since whites commit 85 percent of them, it means that 19,550 whites kill themselves with a gun every year. It means that while whites here have talked shit about 300,000 blacks being killed by other blacks over the past 50 years, @977,500 whites have killed themselves with guns over the same time period.
These are senseless deaths but we see no whites with threads about it. Don't ALL LIVES MATTER?
Not here. This thread is a race bait thread that has been kept out of the rubber room where it belongs. The OP didn't start this thread out of his concern for black inner city youth. He started it so other racists could keep talking shit.
Every hour at least 2 whites die from shooting themselves. In the time I took me to research and write this information, one white person has blown themselves away. But the racists will keep talking about Chicago.
