Latinos: Less Guns, More Crime.

Latinos are an important group we need to reach for the preservation of the 2nd Amendment, the enemy already has their sights on them since they’re more likely to support gun control. However, as one enemy (the Violence Policy Center) inadvertently pointed out, less guns among Latinos means more crime in that community.

“Hispanics own guns at rates lower than the general population,” states the study’s introduction.

“Hispanics are far less likely than blacks or whites to own guns,” the study maintains. “Only 11 percent of Hispanics own guns, compared to 16 percent of blacks, and 27 percent of whites.”

“Hispanics are more likely than those in other racial/ethnic groups to be victims of violent crimes involving strangers,” the study continues. “77.4 percent of Hispanics were murdered with a firearm—the highest percentage for any racial or ethnic group…Handguns were used in 69.5 percent of all Hispanic homicides—once again the highest of any racial or ethnic group.”

In addition, the VPC study also demonstrates how more guns result in fewer gun-related injuries, a further reason to encourage responsible firearm ownership. “That year [1997], Hispanics had a total firearm injury (fatal and nonfatal) rate 2.8 times that of whites,” it states. “This information is further supported by a 1996 New England Journal of Medicine study which found that Hispanics were shot (both fatally and nonfatally) at a rate 2.6 times higher than non-Hispanic whites.”

If you’re Hispanic and English isn’t your first language, I recommend the Spanish version of the NRA here: http://www.nraespanol.org/

Everyone should learn English, but nobody should be misinformed. If you’re a green card resident or US citizen, you have a right to keep and bear arms.
