Nobody is saying that gun violence doesn't exist (though I wonder how much is limited to inner cities in areas none of us want to live in if we have a choice).
But we're talking at cross purposes. The first post talked about violence. The second talked about violence. The third in the sequence, yours, switched the discussion to talk about homicides. Not all violent crimes are homicides.
The frequency of violence in the US is lower, but the death rate due to violence is much higher. Violence seems to be much more lethal in the US, for some reason.
Gun violence vs gun homicide is really just two sides of the same coin. Either way I don't want to be somewhere that chances of being shot go up appreciably, let alone just having a gun pulled on me w/ no shots fired.
