Black gangs are the cause. Not guns.
Toronto has a black population of 8.4%
Chicago has a black population of 32%
More young black guys = more young black guys that may join a gang = more murders.
Young Latino gangs are catching up though in a lot of cities as well.
Bad economy with no opportunity for young people (for instance, an 18 year old at one time could work in a bar and make really good tip money...but not since the drinking age changed to 21 a few decades back) leads to young blacks and Latinos (who are the highest unemployed) joining gangs and that leads to all that violence.
