It is very simple - most gun violence is caused by gangs and drugs. Look at any crime map and it is clear that gun violence is clustered in very specific areas - areas that funny enough, are associated with gangs and drug activities.
That tells me two things:
1. If you avoid those areas your chances getting shot are even lower.
2. We know what the real problem is. A two prong approach of decriminalizing drugs and the judicial system hammering violent offenders will get gun violence rates down to where you want them.
