1. i am referring to black and hispanic gangs. south florida and california come to mind. not to mention the mexican drug wars goin oin right now. 20-30 people a day is nothing to sneeze at

2. i am speaking about modern times. I should have made that clearer. Back in the day 1866-1900 there was exponentially greater numbers of murders than modern times by the kkk.
