Because that particular area of crime is one of the worst kinds - where people get killed! And I did read the statistics you mention, doesn't change the fact that certain minority groups are more responsible for violent crime including gun crime. If they are a minority group - how come they are most responsible for that type of crime? They are not the only group living in those conditions - so as far as I can see, that does not excuse it!
