New York City also has a handgun ban, but Chicago has a higher murder rate. Chicago residents probably have lower morals and less respect for life.
Good point, NYC also has strict gun laws but the number of gun murders in Chicago is higher even though NYC has nearly 3 times the residents.
NYC also occasionally elects Republicans (most of them are RINOs) though I believe Dems outnumber Republicans 5 to 1 in voter registration there. Chicago never elects Republicans. The lone Republican alderman in Chicago recently retired and was replaced with a RAT.
Rudy G though a RINO was great on crime and cleaned up NYC. I wish he’d run for Mayor again.
