Cute, you gotta submit this one. It's a winner! :-)

lol

+1 for you!

The original meme is political, no?

Agreed and upvoted.

Who is pulling all those triggers? It ain't other GUNS. ;-)

Chicago is a good example. Unfortunately.

No, Chicago is not.

London, England: No guns, recent homicide rate has surpassed New York.

Exactly, excellent point.
And if that two month London trend keeps up (NYC's rate is set to be even lower than last year's regardless), Chicago is even farther than "a good example" which it never was in the first place.

Funny too. Just a few decades ago, NYC was the most dangerous city on earth, and became a synonym for such, especially the Bronx, where I'm from.
Who woulda thunk?

Yup, just goes to show that it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people. If people who want to kill someone don't have guns, they'll find another way, which is why London has now had to start looking at knife control.

Guns don't kill people? Then perhaps it's time for refund, because unless we're talking paint ball...

People with guns kill people, and far more effective volume, precision, and a distance-wise than with knives, garrotes, gasoline, smoke fumes, carbon monoxide, drowning, said paint balls and just about everything else other than bombs - which, though arms, are 'curiously' even more difficult to acquire and thus use. Automobiles can kill many, but precision can be lacking, a well as other impediments.

There is still crime in NYC - some slums aren't as reflective of the overall trend, this is still THE crime syndicate capital of America with mobs from all over the world, as well as the usual murders of passion, etc. But gun control has turned NYC into the safest big city in America.

People on BOTH fake sides of the bot argument focus solely on Chicago because otherwise the debate is concluded 1,2,3 with a simple N - Y - C.

Good stats. I remember when they reduced it to around 1 per day (years ago). Glad to see they're still improving.

Thanks for the info! :-)

Yeah, here first it's like, "Oh wow," then it's like, "Oh yeah"
