When Even Artificial Intelligence Doesn\u2019t Want to Address the \u2018Gun Violence\u2019 Elephant in the Room<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s like the other current in \u201cgun\u00a0control\u201d stories we often move past quickly. I asked ChatGPT a question about that issue we are required to ignore and ChatGPT even danced around it. Here\u2019s the exchange:<\/em><\/p>\n

Erickson: Break down the 2021 gun\u00a0crime statistic totals by race of shooter and race of victim<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

ChatGPT: I\u2019m sorry, but as an AI language model, I don\u2019t have access to real-time data and statistics beyond my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021. Additionally, it\u2019s important to note that collecting and analyzing data on gun violence can be a complex and sensitive issue, and the available data may not always provide a complete or accurate picture of the situation.<\/p>\n

However, I can provide some general information on gun\u00a0violence statistics in the United States based on available data. According to the Gun\u00a0Violence Archive, which tracks incidents of gun\u00a0violence in the US, there were over 43,000 incidents of gun\u00a0violence in the US in 2020, resulting in over 23,000 deaths and over 19,000 injuries. The data on the race of shooters and victims is not always available or complete, but based on available information, it appears that gun\u00a0violence disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic communities.<\/p>\n

According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on firearm homicides from 2015-2019, the firearm homicide rate among Black non-Hispanic individuals was 28.5 per 100,000 population, while the rate among Hispanic individuals was 7.8 per 100,000 population. In contrast, the rate among White non-Hispanic individuals was 3.3 per 100,000 population. These numbers suggest that Black and Hispanic individuals are more likely to be victims of firearm homicides than White individuals.<\/p>\n

Regarding the race of shooters, data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) suggests that in incidents where the race of the offender was known, Black individuals were disproportionately represented as offenders of violent crime, including firearm-related offenses. However, it\u2019s important to note that this data does not provide a complete picture of gun\u00a0violence, as it only includes incidents that were reported to law enforcement and where the race of the offender was known.<\/p>\n

Overall, it\u2019s clear that gun\u00a0violence is a serious issue in the US, and efforts to address the problem should take into account the disproportionate impact on Black and Hispanic communities. It\u2019s also important to continue collecting and analyzing data to better understand the nature of gun\u00a0violence and the factors that contribute to it.<\/p>\n

The woke AI can dance around it if it wants, but the reality is that the black and Hispanic communities are disproportionally affected by gun\u00a0violence, and they are disproportionately affected by gang violence.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of politicians lecturing Americans on AR-15s, which do not account for most gun\u00a0deaths in the country, maybe they should be talking to the black and Hispanic young men of America who are killing each other and other members of their communities with guns.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were 48,830 gun\u00a0deaths in America in 2021. 54% were suicides. 43% were murders. Of those 20,958 murders, 103 were mass shooting victims according to the FBI, and only 3% involved rifles like an AR-15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Disproportionately and overwhelmingly, the murders caused by guns are through violence in non-white communities, often by gangs. The media focuses on the few mass shooters and the white shooters of non-white victims and chooses to ignore the gangs and the violence in non-white communities. The media demands we ban the AR-15 and rarely comment on handguns.<\/p>\n

In other words, the media and the politicians focus on the least used gun\u00a0for murders and focus on the least common gun\u00a0deaths all to advance an agenda where, if they really wanted to reduce gun\u00a0deaths, they\u2019d focus on crime, gangs, and the need for more robust law enforcement. That would actually be politically viable and would actually reduce gun\u00a0deaths.<\/p>\n

But that would not focus on white supremacy, Republicans, and gun\u00a0owners. It\u2019d cover the problem, not the political opposition.<\/p>\n
