"What Makes the Most Dangerous Cities So Crime-Ridden?
Experts continue to debate the precise causes of violent crime, but there are a few factors that pop up consistently. We compared wealth distribution, high school graduation rates, the median age, and ethnic diversity to see if there were any trends that could explain why the most dangerous cities are so crime-ridden. The biggest differences we found between the safest and most dangerous cities are median household income and poverty rates.
Only three of the safest cities have a median income below the national average of $57,652, but 90% of the most dangerous cities do—and Detroit and Cleveland have median household incomes of just $27,000 per year. But when you look at the poverty rate, only two cities among the safest cities are below the national average of 14.6%, and every one of the most dangerous cities is higher."
Yes, I am dankrupt and I am not braining well today, I misunderstood and made an argument from a violent crime perspective and not a spree murder/terrorism perspective.
No one really knows what exactly causes the latter, it's probably a complex of factors.

Most people don't want to ban all firearms across the board. Just regulate them better so people who shouldn't have them don't.
Addressing the direct things used to kill seems like a better idea than a very easily disproved "factor"
