Wow. In a mere 3 hours I've made dscntnt contradict his own OP thread:

dscnt, 10 am sat morning: A city with a murder rate over 18 times the national average has to be doing something wrong
dscnt: 3 pm sat aftn: Stunning progress for Camden.. I infer Camden is doing something right.

Am I good or what?
Then of the top 10 cities (>100k pop) with highest murder rates, 7 of 10 are pro gun cities:

pro gun Detroit: With 45.1 murders per 100,000 residents, Detroit churns out fresh corpses almost as quickly as they build new cars.
pro gun New Orleans: The murder rate is impressively freaky at 41.3 per 100,000 residents.

gun control New Jersey is a relatively safe state with violent crime rates that are 21 percent below the national average. {Newark} 112 murders each year, which is 40.2 per 100,000 residents

pro gun St Louis: 37.6 murders occur per 100,000 residents
gun control Baltimore: 37.4 per 100,000 residents
pro gun Birmingham Al 29.7 muderders per 100,000 people

pro gun Jackson MS ... pro gun Cincinnati OH
gun control Oakland CA 22 per 100,000 residents
pro gun Baton Rouge LA
