If there is no one telling the investigators it's gang related, they don't count the numbers, but they still could be gang related. People don't like to tell cops anything if they see a shooting occur. They fear a retaliation.
But the point I was making was America isn't grand theft auto where everyone is packing heat 24/7.

We're only 15th in firearm homicides per 100,000 population going by this(have to click homicides).
And going by the 11,000 gun homicides in your post, and our 320 million population, that's less than 0.01% of the US Population being crazy gun criminals. That is too tiny of a statistic to make it a major issue here. It's too late in the game to do anything anyways. Even a full gun ban would do nothing at this point.
Not sure where all this came from, since I wanted to talk about how the UK is Hunger Games 2.0 for not allowing pocket knives.
