@Steven Wallmart:
Of course not every person involved in a gang is an inherently evil person. The nature of criminality and the human psychology surrounding gang involvement is complex, for sure. However, gang members might appear to give back or care for their community at times, but in a macrocosmic sense, their actions are hypocritical. Gangs run illicit businesses usually centered around vice which serve to destroy communities. They also kill and maim their rivals with regular occurrence, and make their neighborhoods into demilitarized zones where people live in fear. Even these biker gangs sell drugs, run greasy businesses, and ghost someone occasionally. My point is, that one minute they're handing out Thanksgiving turkeys and doing community service, and the next they're pimping out some young girl or selling poison to kids at a school. All they're doing is trying to win hearts and minds, and turn people's loyalty towards them and away from the police. It is a typical pacification tactic for a population you want to control. Some gangs don't even bother with the niceties. I've never seen the Crips or MS-13 doing any charity events.

You said killing innocent children is a "no no" for these guys, but these gangs recruit kids as early as 10 to act as their drug mules, sell dope and even kill people. Some crooks and gang members still have a "code" of sorts, that is true, but I guess if we're talking about definitions, you'll have to define a child for me as well. I would say a 10 year old is still a child.
I'm not trying to get into an argument with you about semantics, my man, but I think we are both reasonable enough to agree that the vast majority of gang members are violent, degenerate, and sociopathic individuals, and the organizations they represent are predatory and violent as fuck. Overall, they represent a net negative for our country, despite whatever efforts they might make to "give back."
I don't think crime can be stopped. But it can be heavily thwarted with the correct approach. Disarming the general populace is not in that general formula, of course. The people we should be disarming and punishing are the criminals. I think we should condemn them to heavy labor doing public works projects. We might as well make our tax dollars cost effective and productive. Moreover, they'd have no time to run criminal organizations from prison if they were digging ditches all day.
Regardless of what is done at the legislative level, if the law is not administered correctly and with a high degree of regularity, we will still have problems. If the legislation already in place was administered correctly and the officials responsible were held accountable if they did not enforce the law, gun crime would decrease significantly.
Also, btw...I am not a hacker. lol. I've never been convicted of any crime, only infractions.
