So the tendency to resort to deadly violence appears to be cultural and regional. Take away legal guns; they will obtain them illegally. If we somehow manage to take away illegal guns; they'll use knives. Or homemade bombs.

Historically, gun violence is associated with immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, and Northern England. It is still associated with the region they settled.

The "significant monetary incentive" might be a bigger issue than the confidence level

“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed that intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.”

"The seventh member of the Team, who also happened to be the most senior, was the one officer to believe Covid originated through zoonosis."

The 6 whose vote was apparently for sale had the low confidence.

We've been down this road so many times and it winds up at a dead end. I'll believe when someone shows the receipts.

[citation needed]

Also - is that the rate of offenders, or victims?

Also - now do those stats for "children shot in schools wrt race"

Interesting.

Scandanavian countries were mentions. There are hispanic and black people in Scandanavian countries. What is the gun violence rate amongst those cultures in Scandanavia?

Crime in general - worldwide - tends to follow one very clear demographic when you control for all other factors. The less money you have, the more violent crime you commit. ILLove attributes it to skin color - saying it's an attribute of race - if you are hispanic or black you are more prone to violence. But run it through the NVidia AI machines and we see that this is not true - it's not about brown or black, it's about green. Want less violent crime? Give more opportunities to people with less money, which in this country trends towards people of color.

Iirc, The article mentions that German immigrants to Appalachia adopted the Scots-Irish culture? The violence is not about race. It is about a culture of honor codes.

 “Arguments over pocket change or popsicles in these Southern cultures can result in people getting killed, but what’s at stake isn’t the popsicle, it’s personal honor.”

The article touches on why. Keepers of herds as opposed to tillers of soil. The former rely on respect for turf; the latter on community and cooperation.
