If you look at the more dangerous cities (NYC, Chicago, LA) you invariably find that they have the most onerous gun laws.  Look at the states with the most relaxed gun ownership/carry laws, and you find crime is going down.  Possible exception to this is Phoenix, AZ, but that's due to the illegal immigration problem that the Feds don't want to do anything about.

Offered by Crusader who feels "reason" is becoming a lost element in modern discussions. ::)

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Explain New Orleans then. (I have my own, demographically related theories on that )
