I find it interesting that the areas with the tightest gun controls are also the areas with the most shootings-New York, Chicago, LA.

You're correct. Strict gun control has little effect on gun crime.
What does have an effect on gun violence is the strict adherence to law and order. We need to stop identifying gun violence as a race/social justice/poverty/police brutality/etc issue. When law enforcement is allowed to do its job and the prosecution of criminals is done properly, gun violence is reduced substantially.
Take a look at the leadership of the cities with the highest rate of gun violence. That leadership has commonalities. It has reduced the effectiveness of its police force. And, it has reduced the legal jeopardy associated with all criminal acts.
