Always blaming the media and racism for problems just provides excuses for not analysing them. The powerful, white-funded NRA is actually who "the media" focuses on when it comes to foes of gun control. Furthermore, the media publicizes sensational mass murders comitted by white sociopaths as much as it does drive-by shooting by gangs. Concern for violence fueled by guns is not restricted to any one segment of the population, And there are just as many black gun owners who are against the government taking away their weapons as there are white ones. The right to own a gun is a personal philosophy that differs from individual to individual. It's not a black or white thing.
