Well if you eliminate the gangs and gang related deaths that will eliminate approximately 4000 to 5000 of those murders if you eliminate murder suicides that would eliminate another 3500 to 4000 of these murders (of course that doesn't mean that murder suicide can't be done via knife or ax or poisoning they can and are frequently) those two areas right there virtually eliminate the issue and are eminently addressable.   The problem is the left doesn't want to address the gangs they would have to admit many of their key planks were wrong.   They certainly don't want to address murder suicide.   That would mean admitting that they are only in this for total government control and that's never a message that sells with voters.
