A gunman taking out students or shooting up a mall is not gun violence; those are terrorist acts where the main intent is to incur as many casualties as possible. Most gun violence occurs through illicit activities, ie, drug deals, gang activity, etc. I believe if you research again using the above filters, you'll see that most gun violence occurs in those cities where concealed permits are not allowed. Law abiding citizens who carry actually reduce the gun violence rate in cities which allow concealed licensing. Everyone seems to think Orlando was a victim of gun violence; not so. This is true terrorism at its core. Think of the results if any of these latest gun-driven terrorist attacks (Roseburg, OR; Orlando, FL) were met by someone carrying. The casualties would have been a lot less. You'll never see anyone try to run amok in the NRA headquarters or a police station; their chances of dying would be too high. They only target soft areas where the most casualties can occur.
