Even if guns are not being used in many crimes where you live they could still cause a lot of problems in other locations. Michael Moore's thoughts on the matter in his book Stupid White Men:

"Nonetheless, we have about a quarter-billion guns in our homes, owned - that is, introduced into society- by white people. Each year about 500,000 guns are stolen, mostly from these same white people in the suburbs. And the vast majority of those guns end up in the inner city, sold cheaply or traded for legal or illegal goods and service.

"These white guns have caused an enormous amount of death and suffering among African-Americans. Gunfire is the number one cause of death among young blacks. Black men between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four are almost six times more likely to be shot to death than white men in that same age group.

"No African-American owns a gun company. Cruise through the part of your town where African-Americans live: there are no gun factories there. At prices that range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, most African-Americans can't afford to buy a Glock, Beretta, Luger, Colt, or Smith & Wesson. No black guy owns a plane that's smuggling automatic weapons into the country.

"All of this is done by whites. But sooner or later, thousands of these legally purchased guns end up in the hands of desperate people who live in poverty and who live with their own set of fears. To introduce guns into this volatile environment- which we white people have done little to improve- is a deadly proposition.

"So if you're white, and you'd like to help reduce the number one cause of death among young black men, here's the answers: Don't buy a gun. Don't keep one in your house or car. No guns laying means no guns stolen to be resold in poor black neighborhoods. Chill out, sit back, and enjoy the good life an unlevel-playing-field has given you. If you're truly concerned about your protection, get a dog. Bad guys generally don't want to tussle with a crazy barking animal with sharp teeth."

Typical misinformation and disinformation from Moore. Here’s one African-American owned firearm manufacturer.
