I may have missed something; however, the graph of incarceration shows approximately 3% incarceration rate for black men (3000 of 100 000) and 0.5% for white men. The ratio of the two shows the large racial discrepancy though.
I had (past tense) a friend who was fascinated with guns - most boys were but most of us grew out of it - he emigrated eventually from Australia to Texas, partly because he could own guns easily. While he was there he got married. He changed companies after quite a few years but lost his job soon after the change and couldn't get his old job back. He got drunk (not an uncommon event for him) and shot himself - leaving his wife to pick up the pieces. Is this exporting violence from the US or importing victims? I'm not sure.
I recently read The Man Without a Face - The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin by Masha Gessen. I have to say that I had little understanding before that of how dangerous Putin is to Russia and so by extension to many of us living elsewhere.
