The same amount that should laugh off "learning" that percentage of black population makes their family more prone to dying of gunshot wounds.

Except if we're trying to identify demographic issues, poverty and gender both explain the correlation better than race.

The correlation between guns and gun violence and injuries undermines any claim that owning a gun increases liberty or enables self-defence.
