If someone chooses the gang lifestyle, that is their choice. If they decide that gun play is a good idea then I don't really feel sorry for them when they get what's coming.
What I don't like is the system that perpetuates poverty in urban areas. In my opinion, the only way to solve this would be to remove all children from these areas -- ship them off to a boarding school where they might have a chance at a better life. I think if given the option, many parents in these areas would think this was for the better.

And who's going to pay the expensive boarding school tuition for these kids? Not the government, that's for certain.
