I looked at a variety of sources for the above numbers, but it certainly didn't seem like gang- or drug-specific associations drove the majority of non-suicide gun deaths. A decent chunk, but there are other reasons.

One surprising / not surprising other fact: ~50-75% of gun deaths involve alcohol and ~25% meth.



Would be curious to see what you are looking at too. Many deaths have no attribution as well, which could well fall into drug or gang.
