I get bothered when people dismiss gun violence as gang-related, as if it doesn't matter because the victims are in gangs. We're all human beings, and we all deserve to live. Yes, people involved with gangs, pretty much by definition, are more likely to be a victim at some point, but it doesn't mean we as a society should just dismiss them, like they're meaningless, they all deserved to die. It just seems so heartless. In the US, it's almost automatic when someone points out all the gun-related deaths: "A large portion of gun deaths are gangs in Chicago!" Probably true, but so what? People are still dying.
