It's embarrassing to read such a superficial and ignorant discussion on race and crime. Really. Especially, since it was implanted here with little reason.
Most empirical studies, at least in the United States, that observe the effects of gun control show a inverse relationship between gun owners and crime--so, those who would want to amend our Constitution immediately, how would you handle a dramatic increase in crime? You didn't change the people, you changed the law. Would we enact a police state, with our bureaucracy and military expanding nearer to civilian sizes?
There will always be weapons--knives and guns, yeah, but even weapons in the future to still be imagined. In the face of an increasingly neurotic society, a government who will only marginally protect me, and an understanding of human nature, I'd rather guns be legal. I have no desire to harm or kill anyone, but if someone would do otherwise to me, I'll have a fighting chance.
