I am not sure how much more clear I make this a metropolis the size of New York that allows citizens to legally own and possess guns has less murders than a city of equal size that has a zero tolerance and complete ban of guns!!!!! I would use a different city, but New York is the best example, bc of the population size is almost as exact as London. It increases the "internal validity" of the argument and sense that has happened across multiple months now that means the statistics are not "Out Liars" or statistical anomalies.
You can keep say it is not, but the facts say other wise...
here is also further proof that the argument that lax gun laws are the reason for higher homicide rates are false

2 of the 3 top cities on this list have some of the toughest gun laws and other cities such as Oakland California, Washington DC and Chicago are also on that list, but despite having the toughest gun laws they have higher homicide rates than cities with lax gun laws like in Alaska or Wyoming
In fact here is how bad Chicago is
