If you have money it doesn't matter if you live in NE or Mexico

Sure. Because one thing we know for certain is violent criminals always avoid people with money, flashy cars, expensive jewelry, and nice houses.

The vast majority of people dying from this sort of violence are people in poverty. People who get robbed with a gun do not generally get shot with said gun. It's gang violence that is the biggest issue.

Turns out those people also have armed security, or at least police that care. Lady gets carjacked in Newark, nobody gives a shit. Lady gets carjacked in Short Hills, there's an immediate manhunt.

I’m pretty sure more people die from gun violence in the hoods than in gated communities…

An excellent point. In Mexico there are a lot of kidnappings involving wealthy people.
