Gang members don't drive to gun shows and have shootouts at them. They usually do it in places where only gang members have guns, and in response to the never ending circle of revenge killings. If a gang member killed your family member you'd probably be shooting too.

But they still all have guns, right? @matrixdweller is saying no one would be violent if everyone would have guns, but gangs are incredibly violent knowing everyone they shoot at will be able to shoot back.
That has nothing to do with it. Everyone having a gun is thought to prevent people from being violent. People who want to be violent, like ganf members, do not avoid violence because other people are armed.
Edit: Basically you're saying that putting a gun in a peaceful man's hand doesn't make him violent.
I'm saying that putting a gun in a peaceful man's hand does not make violent men peaceful.
