Contributing factors to gun violence? [View all]

[Phlem]

Gun violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence, often involving male juveniles or young adult males.[13][14] Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media, mass shootings account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths[9] and the frequency of these events had steadily declined between 1994 and 2007.

Between 2007 and 2013, however, the rate of active shooter incidents per year in the US has increased.

So if we increase the amount of poor urban area's, does that increase overall gun violence? I'm thinking yes. (cough) Ferguson.

Speeches are nice but when are we actually going to do something about it. The poorer we get the more desperate we get and the likelihood of violence increases.
