isnt NYC the safest city in the US thanks to strict gun control?

Of all the cities with a population above 250,000, those with the strictest gun laws are actualy those with teh worst gun related crime.

 

Our problem isn't guns, it's gangs and drug laws.   Take another city with little gang or drug issues an the gun related crime rates are incredibly low.

Look up gun laws in Japan. LOL...oh wait...they have no real issues with guns because they are banned with a 1/3 of the US population on an island.

Nor does Switzerland, but they give each family a fully automatic assault rifle.

Additionally, there are places in the US that are as safe as any ultra-safe European country. Did you know our murder rates vary from about 1.0 per 100,000 up to 30.0 per 100,000? May want to look into what the 1.0 places are doing vs. the 30.0's.
