So your maps show that poor people don't commit more crimes

They are not "my" maps. They are raw data collection maps.

They show that there are definite areas of low black and Hispanic population that still have high poverty that do not have the same high murder rates with firearms. If we were to use your statement "Exactly. Which is why I said you can point to race, but you can just as easily point to socioeconomics." referring to this post

Or perhaps they are poor because they are violent and incapable of participating in society. This is the problem with correlation "studies". They tell you nothing about the cause.

One would expect all areas of low socioeconomic status to have similar firearm murder rates. That is simply not true. So you cannot use the data from the OP to "just as easily point to socioeconomics" as a cause for the variance in firearms murders.
