I don't think you know what you are talking about. California is experiencing the lowest level of gang violence ever. Oakland, LA, and San Francisco are seeing lowest homicide rates in decades. SF just had 35 homicides last year, compared to nearly 100 in 2007. Oakland had 75 last year, compared to close to 200 in the 90s.
Based on data and stats, 3 things are true
1. CA has no gang problem
2. As South and Central population in CA has gone up, homicides have dramatically dropped
3. As more gun laws are introduced gun violence has radically reduced

- tathougies 6y agoI don't disagree that California is safer now than ever. However, in the heydays of gang violence in CA, CA still had restrictive gun laws. They seem uncorrelated.
