Take Compton/LA areas. The hispanic gangs have the black gangs running scared right now and the hispanic gangs are slashers by and large using guns very infrequently. The brutality of the blade is turning the war for territory in the hispanic gangs favor.
But you likely wont read any of this because the last thing ideologically anti-gun people want is to save lives and reduce crime.

Sounds like you don't know much at all about it...... Gangs originated in the US? No, lots of the gangs active in the US, originated elsewhere, and came to the US through immigration... The US has a few gangs originating there, but I know of plenty that came from other countries. Italy, cuba, lots of latin american countries, ireland etc etc.

It seems to me that gangs=terrorists. They should pass some legislation to consider them terrorists and round them up. They know who they are. They have tattoo's that identify them as being members of a particular gang. They even have their own TV show. Gangs are a good reason to own and carry a gun in large cities. If they want fewer guns in America they should do something about the gangs. Instead they point to the gang culture as a reason to disarm America. This reasoning is fatally flawed.
Not only do they know who they are but the cops routinely round up known violent members for little chit-chats about stopping the violence then just let them walk out the door.
Either it's a whole lot harder to convict somebody than I ever thought or there is a concerted effort to avoid the gang problem that goes all the way up to the FBI.

As long as you want to live in a society that self gratifies over guns, it will continue.
But it's your "right" to be murdered... I say good. You deserve it.

I would never go to Chicago.
Put it to you this way. I would first walk around with about 20lbs of gold chains on me, badly drunk, in a huge tourist Mexican hat and Hawaiian shirt in Tiajuana Mexico before "visiting" Chicago....
Everything I see from there seems awful.....just terrible...

Wow... dead brains, you say?
What on earth are you blathering about? In no part of your rambling, incoherent post, did you even come close to a rational thought.

I've spent hundreds of hours walking through Chicago. Generally, you want to stay away from the areas the cops don't go to. If you do that, there's no more to worry about than if you were walking the streets of Pleasantville in Utopia county. It's unfortunate that the "bad" neighborhoods are as bad as they are, but just as unfortunate that such a great city is besmirched by the many few who have no respect for human life.

Do you have a source for this? Would be interested to read further into it, thanks.
