Well, there you go. I believe it has to do with the behavior of the
population therein, not the availability of guns.
Last I knew, NYC, Detroit, Miami and LA were all part of and located in
the USA.

In defense of NYC, they really don't belong in that group. I believe
there are a number of large cities like New Orleans, Baltimore,
Oakland and St Louis that rank as far more dangerous. Surprisingly
NYC and Chicago don't even appear in the top 30 when ranked by murder
rate per thousand residents.
Yes, I am not sure if I got the cities correct, it may have been
Detroit, Chicago, N'oleans, and LA now that I think about it more but I
will not swear to it. The point is we are #4 and without the four Dem
run cities, we are like 87...
