Good for New York
It’s strict gun control laws are working
Yeah well, London has stricter gun laws than New York.
Besides, I don't necessarily think New York's more modest murder rates has anything to do with gun control.
I happen to think a mix of stop, and frisk, tight policing, and that a lot of the "trash" have been weeded out of New York from gentrification, be it Black, White, or Puerto Rican.
The crime rate in New York went down because Rudy Guiliani actually focused on criminals...not law abiding citizens....but don't worry.....the democrat/socialist has decided that he wants more crime...so he is dropping all of the successful anti crime policies....
Don’t Take the Wrong Lessons from NYC’s Murder Drop
New York City’s formerly high-crime neighborhoods have experienced a stunning degree of gentrification over the last 15 years, thanks to the proactive-policing-induced conquest of crime. It is that gentrification which is now helping fuel the ongoing crime drop. Urban hipsters are flocking to areas that once were the purview of drug dealers and pimps, trailing in their wake legitimate commerce and street life, which further attracts law-abiding activity and residents in a virtuous cycle of increasing public safety.
The degree of demographic change is startling.
In Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, for example, the number of white residents rose 1,235 percent from 2000 to 2015, while the black population decreased by 17 percent, reports City Lab.
In Bushwick, Brooklyn, the number of whites rose 610 percent over that same decade and a half; the black population was down 22 percent. Central Harlem’s white population rose 846 percent; the black share dropped 10 percent. In 2000, whites were about three-quarters of the black population in Brownsville-Ocean Hill; by 2015, there were twice as many whites as blacks.
In 2000, whites were one-third of the black population in Crown Heights North and Prospect Heights; now they exceed the black population by 20,000. The Brooklyn Navy Yards has now been declared the next cool place to be by the tech industry. Business owners are moving their residences as well as their enterprises to the area.
This demographic transformation has enormous implications for crime.
A black New Yorker is 50 times more likely to commit a shooting than a white New Yorker, according to perpetrator identifications provided to the police by witnesses to, and victims of, those shootings.
Those victims are overwhelmingly minority themselves.
When the racial balance of a neighborhood changes radically, given those crime disparities, its violent-crime rate will as well. (This racial crime disparity reflects the breakdown of the black family and the high percentage of black males — upwards of 80 percent in some neighborhoods — being raised by single mothers.)
----
The high-crime areas of Baltimore and Chicago have not been gentrified. Baltimore is experiencing its highest per capita murder rate for the third year in a row. While Chicago’s homicide numbers are down somewhat this year, thanks to the aggressive use of shot-spotter technology, they remain at a level far higher than in the past decade.
I totally agree, gentrification + policing are the main things that promoted New York as a "Model safe city".
Chicago's gun laws are almost as strict as New York, but it's in much worse shape merely because of less gentrification + less policing
And Baltimore's are stricter than both with a tiny population compared to those cities...and their murder rate is off the charts....also, notice Houston...gun stores on every corner, people can carry guns legally, easily, and they are on the border with the drug country of Mexico....unlike Baltimore..

Murders in London Overtake New York for First Time Since 1800 Under Sadiq Khan
London has overtaken New York City for number of murders for the first time in over 200 years under the mayoralty of Labour’sSadiq Khan.
Britain’s multicultural capital edged ahead of the American city — once so notorious for its high crime rates that it was chosen as the setting for Charles Bronson’s Death Wish –– in February, The Times reports.
London saw 15 killings to New York’s 14 over the course of the month, and appears to have outstripped ‘Gotham’ yet again in March, with 22 killings to 21.
Historically, London has had a murder rate per person between half and one-twentieth of New York’s since 1800, according to FBI data and studies by University of California researcher Eric Monkkonen.
Figures released last year showed London was already the more dangerous of the two cities for almost every other category of violent and sexual crime, with Londoners six times more likely to be burgled than New Yorkers, three times more likely to be raped, and one and a half times more victim to be robbed.

Good for New York
It’s strict gun control laws are working
Not hardly.....Considering Britain banned and confiscated guns....and their gun crime rate is going up, not down.....23% across England and Wales last year, up 42% in London, and 30% in Yorkshire......if gun control can't work on an island nation that completely banned and confiscated all guns except for the hunting shotguns of the rich.......gun control ain't gonna work anywhere....
And the British gave up their guns on the promise it would make them safer.......it didn't....
Meanwhile, in the U.S.......we know that more guns = less gun crime...
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

London’s problem is that is seems more guns are working their way into the city
A sure formula for more murder
El Paso, Texas has a lot of guns, but a low murder rate.
I mean it really supports that guns don't have much of anything to do with murder rate correlations.
Does it?
El Paso Texas has a low murder rate in the US, not compared to the rest of the first world.
El Paso's murder rate of 2.5 puts it ahead of every single first world country's murder rate, by quite a way too.
3 US cities over 250,000 people have a murder rate lower than the UK's murder rate.
Only three.
That's still a lower murder rate than New York, none the less.
Well, El Paso's a very heavily Hispanic city, it's close to gun free utopia Juarez, Mexico, one of the highest murder rate cities in the World.
So, actually it's pretty crazy that El Paso is so much lower in murder as it is.

Maybe, but there are lots of factors that can put gun crime up or down. It's not all about guns, however you put things into context and you see that guns can have a detrimental effect.
Without guns, and with a national govt that cares, then maybe El Paso's murder rate would be 0.5, who knows?

Only three.
1.) Some UK cities like Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester have murder rates close to 5 out of 100,000.
2.) Who says the "Brits" and "Blacks" are the same in the U.S.A, as in the UK?
My impression is that both the "Brits" and "Blacks" in the U.S.A are much more aggressive than ones in the UK.
A lot of the Brits in the U.S.A were rugged frontiers people, in some cases like Georgia there were penal colonies of criminals.
As for Blacks, a lot more Blacks in the UK, came in as more creme of the crop migrations, in comparison to those in the U.S.A.
Then find a credible source. Breitbart is for dummies.Breibart news, really? That's all you've got? A bunch of shithead liars?And the levels of violence in London are going up and now their murder rates are going up...

Murderers can use knives, and mass-murderers can use cars.
Besides, guns can be sold, and bought on the black market.
I've looked at charts of gun ownership vs murder rates, and I've point blank failed to see a correlation.
The assumptions of gun control (freaks) is that Europe has such a low murder rate, and so few guns.
Only on a worldwide scale is the former true, the fact of the matter is Europe has a high gun ownership rate by global standards.
The other assumptions of gun control (freaks) is that Americans are somehow the same as their European counterparts, the truth is no there is a lot of cultural, and racial differences present in the U.S.A, that are not found in Europe.
Wait until all the immigrant arabs start getting added to the stats in Germany. They had an all out machete fight in one neighbourhood just recently.3 US cities over 250,000 people have a murder rate lower than the UK's murder rate.

Yes, this can happen, that can happen and yet the US still has a much higher murder rate and MOST murders are with guns, and the highest fatalities for cops on duty are guns too.
Go figure.
You can "this can happen" all day and night, doesn't change the facts.

Why does Lithuania have the lowest gun ownership rates in Europe, but in European proportionate totals Lithuania is #1 in suicide, and #2 in murder?
Lithuania's murder rate is about 30% than the U.S.A, and the White murder rate comparison of White America vs Lithuania puts Lithuania's murder rate as about 3 X higher than the U.S.A White murder rate.
