> gang violence as aggregate is not meaningfully different from other violence

This is just false. The reason gang violence is separated out is that gang violence is perpetrated against other gang members.

I.e. the gun violence rate for non-gang members is dramatically lower.

It doesn’t mean gang violence is not a problem. It does mean that unless you are in a gang, the US doesn’t have a high murder rate.

I'm sure for young men growing up in certain neighborhoods, opting out of gang membership is less straight forward than you make it sound.

Where do you think I comment on the ease of opting out of gangs?
