How exactly do you suggest they shoot their way out of poverty?  Was the Civil Rights Act passed at gunpoint?  How about Social Security, or the creation of HUD, or student loan programs?  Please give me some precise examples of how marginalized communities benefit from having tons of unregistered guns flooding their streets.  Because the only result I see is murder and violence at a rate much higher than other communities.

You know what would benefit them more AND cause decreased rates of gun violence? Meaningful reforms to improve their socioeconomic situations. Gun violence correlates to these socioeconomic issues. But because affecting real change is difficult and, let's be honest here, those in power don't want to help those marginalized communities when it really comes down to it, they like to focus on guns which will not solve anything. Gun will still be obtained because that box is wide open and even if you could magically confiscate all of them, there would still be violence in other forms.
