Literally how the fuck do you know? Most people in DC are very concerned about this - why wouldn't cyclists be? You know it's possible to care about more than one thing at a time?
It's also a complex, multifaceted issue - crime is rising everywhere and despite what politicians and most people will tell you, the a lot of the mechanisms behind it are poorly understood (or we just lack the political will to address it, as with gun control)
It's a complete apples and oranges comparison. You're looking for reasons to be outraged at cyclists. It's pathetic.

OK what are the ideas to lower gun violence then?

Why should I entertain you attempting to pivot the conversation? Don't change the subject because you're losing.
