13. NYC gun control vs selected large pro gun cities

What's the efficacy of a knife vs a gun? how did that witty go, never bring a knife to a gum fight? (gum, or ??) what dat mean nucuni?

Don't see NYC here, but St Louis pro gun, Louisiana pro gun, Detroit shall issue: St. Louis' homicide rate in 2014 was higher than any other big city in the U.S... statistics from the FBI, which show St. Louis .. to become the murder capital of the country. The 159 murders recorded in St. Louis in 2013 give us a rate of 50 homicides per 100,000 residents — which is higher than Detroit's 44 per 100,000 residents.. Coming in third place appears to be New Orleans, with a rate of 38 murders per 100,000 residents.

Oct 2015, Big Cities With The Highest Murder Rates (gun control emboldened)
St. Louis, Missouri 49.91 Detroit, Michigan 43.52 New Orleans, Louisiana 38.75
Baltimore, Maryland 33.84 Newark, New Jersey 33.32 Buffalo, New York 23.22
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 22.43 Memphis, Tennessee 21.38 Atlanta, Georgia 20.47
Cincinati, Ohio 20.16 http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/10/22/violent-crime-statistics-for-every-city-in-america/

Didn't see NYC above, not here either in 2016 scout's 100 most dangerous cities:

Houston {pro gun}, the largest city in Texas, was one of the only major cities in the United States to witness a dramatic rise in murder events in 2014. That year, Houston recorded 239 murders, a 12% increase above the previous year’s value of 214, according to statistics released by the city’s police department on December 30, 2014.
Indiana’s capital, Indianapolis {pro gun}, is another among the very few U.S. cities to see a real increase in murders in 2014... 138 individuals were murdered in the city in 2014, which was an 8% increase from the figure given in 2013, and a 26% increase over what was recorded a decade ago. The increase propels the city’s murder rate to the third-highest rate on record, and for the second year surpassed that of Chicago, Illinois. http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/murder-capital-of-the-us-states-with-the-most-murders.html

Oh wait! here's one! I found some info on New York City murder rates!:

For all of 2014, New York City reported 333 homicides — the lowest number since the modern era of police record keeping began in the early 1960s. Criminal justice experts are predicting the city will record about 350 homicides by year’s end, an increase of just over 5%. The city remains at a historically low level for killings as other major U.S. cities see large increases,

It was an announcement New York City officials had doubtlessly been eager to share with the public—major crime in 2015 was at the lowest point since statistics have been kept. nyc-officials-tout-new-low-in-crime-but-homicide-rape-robbery-rose-1451959203

So I cherry picked; wow, compare St Louis with 50 murders/100k in 2014 with NYC with 4.0? NO COMPARISON.
... how can you think NYC is crime ridden due it's gun policy, when it outshines large PRO GUN cities almost always? Geez, even los angeles puts the pro gun crowd to shame in this one.
